My primary usage of cursor is cmd+L and cmd+K, I'll give it a shot. Also, makes sense to make an open source alternative. How do you plan on monetizing?

Supermaven[1] has addons for vscode as well for jetbrains (and neovim). And it is so good that I quickly decided for their paid plan [1] https://supermaven.com/
They have announced they are building an editor; so while I'm a subscriber, I'm not sure how long the plugins will last
they really did? where could I read about this.
I prefer to stay with addon
Edit: I see it, this is in their newest blog post

#24Oh, I’m yet to find a good alternative to Cursor’s RAG-powered side chat. It helps me work with huge codebases so much. Tried Continue, but it’s very unstable, and doesn’t work as well. Would prefer a command line solution, vscode plugin is the next choice, having a separate editor is not ideal, but I’m glad there’s some competition.

Jetbrains isn't open source and this seems to be a fork of vscode, not an extension so there's a bit more control on what's being done here. Edit : This is only my guess, I have no internal knowledge of Cursor.
Intellij community edition is open source, but not the enterprise version. However, CE is pretty feature rich with a ton of users and if you're targeting indie developers, most are on CE anyways. I'd say if you do Intellij, you have to be in for the long game to build up to enterprise, but its doable.
That's interesting actually, I didn't know they even had a community edition but as I am reading anyway it seem it supports only Android, Swing, and JavaFX. That's quite a limitation no?

#29If anyone can point in the direction of a Cursor like experience, but within Neovim, I'm definitely in the market for that option.

Yeah, my first thought is the plugins are going away sooner or later.
I hope they use Jetbrains as a base instead of VS Code (or roll their own). I strongly prefer IdeaVim or over the one in VS Code. It's the main reason why I don't use Cursor.
