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.
None of my experiences with cursor lately would ever give me confidence for letting it do a task that took long enough for it to be backgrounded. Caught Claude 4.5 via Cursor yesterday trying to set a password to “password” on an outward facing EC2 service.
Curious what your case was for using Claude to set passwords on EC2 instances. Terraform, CDK, something else?

The main reason I use Cursor is for their tab complete model. I enjoy using Neovim more than Cursor, but I choose not to use it because I haven't been able to find anything that makes me as productive as Cursor's tab model.
Complete opposite here, the main reason I use Cursor is to disable their tab complete model. Isn't it super-annoying and frustrating to have half-useful text constantly thrown at you? As someone once said, 'Cursor tab is doing too much'.
There is probably a configurable way to request suggestions instead of having them automatically pop up - I should configure that.
I got into Cursor a little late, went really heavy on it, and see myself using it less and less as I go back to VSCode. 1) The most useful thing about Cursor was always state management of agent edits: Being able roll back to previous states after some edits with the click of a button, or reapply changes, and preview edits, etc. But weirdly, it seems like they never recognized this differentiator, and indeed it remai…
I tried vanilla vs code again three weeks ago. The tab complete was so slow and gave such poor results that I had to crawl back to Cursor after not even a full week. Cursor is sooo fast and useful in comparison.

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 Code != Kiro IDE

Neovim + Git + Aider seems to get close to perfection.
I have tried similar workflows (Neovim + Opencode/Codex CLI), and for me, the biggest downside compared to Cursor is the lack of a tab completion model as good as Cursor's. Supermaven is the best one I've found so far for Neovim, but it gives worse suggestions and can only suggest changes on the same line you are on.

Agreed. If I'm typing code, it's probably because I know what I want to do, and suggestions popping up easily break my train of thought. I also hate the choice of tab - I use tab for...tabs. There is probably a configurable way to request suggestions instead of having them automatically pop up - I should configure that.

Specifically, alt+tab to enable/disable Cursor tab, and change hotkey for accepting suggestions to something besides tab (whoah, we can use [TAB] for coding again?).
Anyone 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.
Copilot in VSCode supports local models through Ollama as well. Not sure about Copilot in Visual Studio. That's one of the most annoying things is VS is always behind VSCode in terms of Copilot features.
