Happy I never jumped on the JetBrains bandwagon... I was curious about Z̶i̶g̶ Zed, until they too started adding AI garbage. Sad. Luckily, I can be fairly confident that my trusty neovim will never add AI garbage unless I specifically go out of my way to install plug-ins. EDIT: Zed, not Zig

Thanks for the reminder! I was looking for a modern editor without AI stuff (I do like AI things but sometimes you'd want an off.) Didn't notice it became open source. Nice!

Does JetBrains have an equivalent of Next Edit Suggestions (VSCode) / Edit Prediction (Zed) / "Tab, tab, tab" (Cursor)?

no. junie is decent as an agent, despite it being slow (i’d put it between cursor and windsurf/copilot on quality).. but the autocomplete is anemic. they have to improve their ability to generate suggestions at all before they can start recommending next edits.

How does JetBrains AI compare to Cursor?

I think they're getting there but missing big features like a high quality "Apply" workflow and next-edit predictions.

I'm working with two of my friends to fill the missing pieces as a JetBrains plugin: https://docs.sweep.dev/

not yet - but it's fairly straightforward to implement the UI once you get the AI down. i've been working on an MVP here: https://docs.sweep.dev/autocomplete#next-edit-prediction-in-...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is by token - you get quota of tokens that once used up, disables your cloud integration

Where are you reading this? I see there's a concept of "credits" but don't see any explanation of what a credit is.

it is token based AFAIK, but we will provide some more information around credits/quota/tokens for the different price tiers in the coming days/weeks

Token based is a pretty strong downside for me that would be enough to get me to use other tools like Cursor (even though I love JetBrains IDEs). I get actively stressed watching an automated system burn through my money on its own recognizance. If I'm going to have quotas or usage-based pricing I want the metrics used to be things that I have direct control over, not things that the service provider controls.

Oh hey, they've worked some more on the features: https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-assistant/

And it's available with the all products pack: https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/buy/?section=personal&bill...

I think I'll be more than happy to try it out then cause I have that pack and compare it against the Github Copilot plugin, or the likes of Continue.dev (which was pretty good in VS Code, but kind of buggy in JetBrains IDEs).

> The AI Free tier gives you unlimited code completion and access to local AI models Looking forward to giving this a try. Work provides me with tooling and requires that I stick to approved AI tools, and my hobby-coding alone is just not important or regular enough to justify a paid subscription. It's been a little annoying that I can have ollama running locally, enable ollama and configure it in my IDE, but still (…

You are getting the AI FRee tier with any paid license for a JetBrains IDE and as you stated it should work with local AI models. I looked through our internal documentation, and I couldn't find anything that stated anything different. If you run into issues, please open a YouTrack ticket and we can have a better discussion/look at what's going on, but with everything I see, I'd expect it to work the way you think.

Any MCP? … Yes and it works great! (except that it's currently pretty slow probably because servers are overloaded) Except for Junie. MCP not available for/in Junie?

Correct, MCP is not used in Junie yet, but it's something we are looking into. Comments like this help us better gauge general interest, so highly appreciate this!
