For some reason, CLIs feel better as coding agent UIs. I loved Cursor at first, but now with Claude Code, it feels like Cursor's UI gets in the way.

Re: Cursor 1.7
#12Cursor was good for a little while until VSCode opened up the APIs for AI editing. Now Copilot is really good and other extensions (specifically Kilo Code) are doing things so much better! I am seeing a lot of folks talking about maintaining a good "Agent Loop" for doing larger tasks. It seems like Kilo Code has figured it out completely for me. Using the Orchestrator mode I'm able to accomplish really big and comple…
Did something change with Kiro, or was I just using it wrong? I tried to have it make a simple MCP server based on docs, and it seriously spent 6 hours without making a basic MVP. It looked like the most impressive planner and executor while working, but it just made a mess.
Kilo != Kiro

#14Why waste precious milliseconds typing complete sentences to your AI coding assistant? With autocomplete in the prompt box, we've solved the most pressing problem facing developers today: prompt fatigue. Gone are the days of exhausting yourself by typing full requests like "refactor this function to use async/await." Now, simply type "refac—" and let our AI predict that you want an AI to refactor your code. It's AI a…

#15I could be wrong about this, but it feels like Cursor is less and less compelling with better models and better CLI tools popping up. Are the plan limits generous enough that it's worth a spin? Again, I haven't used Cursor in a while, I'm mostly posting this hoping for Cunningham's Law to take effect :)
I find Cursor at the same level as Claude code, with some strengths and some weaknesses. Cursor is nice when I want to start multiple parallel agents, while browsing files, monitoring the progress, and switching models as needed. It’s just a simple, zero config environment i can just start using intuitively.
Claude code is more reliable and generally better at using MCP for tool cal, like docs from contex7. So if I had only one prompt and it HAD to make something work, Claude code would be my bet.
Personally I like jumping between models and IDEs , if only to mix it up. And you get a reminder of different ways of doing stuff.

#16I only use VSCode Copilot in Agent mode with either Claude Sonnet 4 or GPT5. Am I missing out on anything?
Re: Cursor 1.7
#17Anyone have good recommendations for plugins integrating things like LM Studio or Ollama into Visual Studio or Jetbrains IDEs? I'd like to do more local AI processing on code bases instead of always relying on outside providers, but a lot of these things like Copilot and Cursor seem so well integrated into the IDE.

You write like that's a bad thing. What's with the negativity here..

I hate writing prompt starters for AI, I wish I had a tool that automatically started sentences so that my AI could autocomplete it
