I use Cursor because I found their autocomplete to be the best option at the time. That seemed to be the consensus at one point too from bits of research I did. Do people think there are better autocomplete options available now? Is it a case of just using a particular model for autocomplete in whatever IDE you want to use?

I agree, they bought out Supermaven which was amazing, but now Supermaven is dead and I want something in Rider.

  I don't think Supermaven is dead... Even though it is also part of Cursor, you could subscribe to the $10/month Pro plan and use it in Jetbrains IDEs like Rider. https://supermaven.com/pricing https://supermaven.com/pricing

Same! Just tried Copilot heavily for a few days and the autocomplete is terribly slow and clunky. Overall I do like VSCode better but Cursors blazing fast and intelligent autocomplete is awesome, will probably stick with Cursor. Btw, I find the review / agent code stuff pretty bad on both. No idea how people get them working well.

Right. Yesterday I tried a simple task that just adds Required[] notation to all class fields. After making the change on one field, Cursor allows me to press tabs and update all other fields. VSCode doesn't understand what I was trying to do after the first operation, which is surprisingly bad (no improvement after months). Also I'm not in favor of the conversational experience of claude code or other CLIs for such trivial task. I'd be happy to know what else can provide a better user experience than Cursor. Disclaimer: I get enterprise level subscriptions to these services via my employer. I personally don't pay for them and never consider their cost, if that matters.
