#82VSCode with extensions Copilot [autocomplete] + CLINE [AI chat] + FOAM [obsidian-esk markdown support] is goat. There's no way a closed-source alternative to going to compete with this.
Cline copying features of Claude Code seems like sustainable competition.
Re: Cursor 1.0
#83I don't really see why people still use Cursor over tools like Cline / Roo Code. I'm guessing it's as they clearly have a larger viral marketing department than engineers, as the application itself doesn't perform nearly as well, requires you to have another IDE installed and their subscriptions nerf the models context sizes etc...
A lot of power in social influence. Especially with the younger generations who remix that influence - compound spread of mindshare. Cursor is all over social media.
Re: Cursor 1.0
#84Is there a good chart somewhere, to compare all the current AI coding CLIs / IDEs / extensions with one another?
this maybe? https://liveswebench.ai/
I don't think it's being kept up to date. I believe for the IDEs, it requires manual testing to get the numbers. Since things change so quickly, it's mostly just a historical artifact. Hopefully some future version is automated.

It’s more of a ticking time bomb because it relies so heavily on upstream model providers who all have competing products, particularly Claude Code.
Until Claude Code becomes manageable price wise, I don’t think Cursor really sees them as their competition. I can burn the whole cursor subscription price in a single day with Claude Code.
I use with the Max plan ($100 per mo) and its well worth the money and only hit the limit once so far.

I used Cline and Claude Code extensively for a project. Claude code is much better.

I think about this daily. More devs are starting to pick up on Claude Code. The initial “not an IDE!” scare is usually diminished within the initial session. I don’t think the future of agentic software development is in an IDE. Claude Code gives me power to orchestrate - the UX has nothing to do with terminal; it just turns out an agent that lives on the OS and in the filesystem is a powerful thing. Anthropic can an…

It… sure is something. I’m still thinking about if it’s horrible, visionary, or both.

Yeah, if you're a heavy user of Claude code, you pretty much need to use it with a Max subscription rather than a BYOK approach. But that starts at $100 / month so it's a significant bump from cursor.
> need to use it with a Max subscription rather than a BYOK Why is that?
Max is far cheaper.

#89I love Cursor, but it feels like a ticking time bomb with extensions not being updated at the same rate as VSCode. Also another issue I am starting to see is the lack of shared MCP servers. If I have VSCode, Cursor, and Claude open, each one is running its own instance of the MCP server. You can imagine that with a dozen or so MCP's, the memory footprint becomes quite large for no reason.
That's why i use Docker MCP Catalog. One MCP Server to rule them all. more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I2L4U7Xq6g
I don't understand. Is this meant to run locally? Because I tried to deploy my agent using GitHub MCP server to K8s. I can't ask my agent to run docker command in a pod.

#90It's an IDE but they don't bother to list on their website what languages you can use the IDE to develop for? I feel like I'm going crazy here. How can they not bother to mention that on their website / marketing?
