#82What's with the edited title "it's Cursor clone". Unless it's literally a Cursor clone, I'd request to change it to describe the product category. Cursor by no means defines the whole category. Not even close.
product category: "vscode with ai things slapped on top"
By vscode you mean atom clone with extra tools slapped on top, right?

#83No autocomplete? Why? I mean is the current trend to leave all the control from the experienced dev hands and just review the final code? Not my cup of tea, I'll keep using Cursor and "vibe code" with smart rewrites
Kiro does have autocomplete. It's just not advertised on the product page as a star feature.
In my experience using Kiro you are still going to be hands on with the code. Personally I choose to turn AI powered autocomplete off because when I do touch the code manually it's usually for the purposes of working on something tricky that AI would likely not get right in autocomplete either.
However, the Kiro autocomplete is average in capability in my experience, and you can absolutely use it to write code by hand as well.

#84Here my problem with this: I don't want to be jumping an editor/IDE every 6 months, learning new key bindings and even more importantly, getting used to a completely new look. In a space that moves as quickly as "AI" does, it is inevitable that a better and cheaper solution will pop up at some point. We kinda already see it with Cursor and Windsurf. I guess Claude Code is all the rage now and I personally think CLI/T…
people are trying to find a moat that will bind their userbase. Browsers, editors, apps etc. There must be a format that locks users in so they will try them all one after another

#85Big opportunity to be the first open source model agnostic Claude Code with widespread adoption. You’ll be the vim, the Linux, the nginx, the MySQL of agentic coding. Who will it be? It’s wide open right now.
This is much more tricky than you'd think. Claude Code and other similar tools only work as well as they do because the prompts that power it have been tuned to match a specific model.
When you make a tool that is "model agnostic" you also make a tool that is unable to play to the individual strengths of each model, or you set yourself up for a massive, multiplicative effort of trying to tune your tool to every single popular model out there, even though some of the models are drastically less capable than others.

#86I am a heavy Jetbrains user, I never liked the idea of Cursor. I embraced Claude Code immediately when it came out.
Are you using the Claude Code plugin, or switching back and forth between Claude Code and the Jetbrains IDE?
With the plugin. CC runs in a terminal on the sidebar. The plugin does not only provide diff view for CC edits, it also gives CC access to diagnosis and all other IDE capabilities through MCP.

This is why you will have to pry vim and my own brain out of my cold dead hands.
It’s not just the IDE but the ML model you are selling yourself to. I see my colleagues atrophy before me. I see their tools melt in their hands. I am rapidly becoming the only person functionally capable of reason on my own. It’s very very weird.
When the model money dries up what’s going to happen?

#88Awesome! Tried it and I should say, adds structure to my vibe coding. Loving it.

#90Earlier quoted context omitted.
Kiro is created by an AWS team, and originates from AWS expertise. We are using Kiro internally as one of our recommended tools for development within AWS (and Amazon). So Kiro is an official AWS product, however, we are also keeping it slightly separated from the rest of core AWS. For example, you can use Kiro without having any AWS account at all. Kiro has social login through Google and GitHub. Basically, Kiro is…
Seems like social login isn't working for me on OSX. Just downloaded Kiro, clicked the Google option, allowed the app, and then get redirected back to http://localhost:3128/oauth/callback with an error "Error: AuthSSOServer: missing state".
Thanks for the report! I'll keep an eye on it. So far we aren't seeing any other reported issues, so it's possible that a browser extension, or something else in your setup is messing with the SSO flow.
Redirect back to localhost:3128 is normal, that's where Kiro is watching for a callback, but the missing state is not normal. Something may have stripped the info out of the callback before it occurred, which is why I suspect an extension in your browser.
Will keep an eye on this though!
