#322Earlier quoted context omitted.
I just run two IDEs. Cursor is essentially only the wrapper for running agents. I still do my heavy lifting in Jetbrains products. It actually works out well because I can let Cursor iterate on a task while I review/tweak code.
Have you tried the Jetbrains agent, I think it’s called Jennie? I am trying it right now and it seems decent enough but I haven’t tried Cursor as I don’t really like vs code.
Jetbrains Junie is pretty good and comparable to Cursor in my experience. And since it is already included in my Jetbrains license, I have had no need for Cursor.

Other professions pay a lot for their tools, and developers are loaded with cash.
>developers are loaded with cash Maybe in the US? I will never pay 100$ for a subscription and I despise that people normalized it by even buying this stuff instead of saying "no, that's way too expensive".
Why not? If you charge $50/hr and it saves you even just two hours a month, it’s a profitable trade.

#324As someone who has two annual subs of Cursor Pro (one from student account and another from Lenny's newsletter), I just spent $100 on Claude Code and I haven't touched Cursor AI for any coding tasks since. If you already spend anything near or over $100 on Cursor, it's no brainer. The agent experience is night and day. No more wrong tool-calling, premature ending of conversation, failure to apply changes or overwriti…
Copilot at $10/mo. lets you use Sonnet 4 in VS Code, which has been working very well for me in agent mode. Curious what Claude Max offers that sets it apart.

Yes, this is a paid comment, in the sense that it's probably a bot. 22 day old account, with 1 post, praising Claude. For more than a year, Anthropic has engaged in an extensive guerrilla marketing effort on Reddit and similar developer-oriented platforms, aiming to persuade users that Claude significantly outperforms competitors in programming tasks, even though nearly all benchmarks indicate otherwise.

#328IMO it's a strategic misstep to try and create their own IDE with a fork of VS Code. I'm only going to consider AI Tools that integrate with my IDEs (primarily VS Code + Rider) as such my AI weapons of choice are now: augmentcode.com (fave), GitHub Copilot, Gemini Code Assist and now Claude Code now that I can use it with my pro plan.
AugmentCode is really good. It has mostly replaced my coding for the past 2 weeks. I am "reduced" to prompting, reviewing, and re-prompting.
And I can do this in parallel, working on 2-3 tasks at the same time (using GoLand, AndroidStudio and JetBrains). As long as I can context switch and keep the context in my head.

#329They show a Devin style slack app[0] in the video but there's not mention of it anywhere else. Does anyone have it installed?
Re: Cursor 1.0
#330Anyone tried Junie from JetBrains? Im super happy with it. I’m not sure how it compares to other coding agents though.
my biggest complaint with it is the speed. One of the slowest agents (if not the slowest) I've tried.
It's also missing quite a few features still (like checkpoints, stopping the agent mid-task to redirect, etc). But the core feature set is mostly there.
