Would love to see this in Cursor. My workaround right now is using a bunch of rules that sort of work some of the time.

As an ex-Cursor user myself, is there any reason that you’re still using it? Genuinely curious.

  That tab autocomplete and predicting what I'm going to edit next is the best I've found. The rest I can take or leave (plenty of good or better alternatives)

    Claude Code has Cursor integration you can use both

  I've been using cursor for last 1 year but haven't tried Claude Code, Do you think it has gotten better?

    Yes, I abandoned Cursor recently and went back to Claude Code. Two main reasons: 1. The “plan mode” for Claude makes it execute complex tasks much more reliably. It automatically keeps track of todos and completes them. With Cursor I’m constantly fighting with it. 2. I can now use my IDE of choice (JetBrains) rather than a poor fork of VS Code. 3. Daily usage limits now included in the monthly $20/month Claude Pro plan seems to be enough for my daily needs. No extra costs.

    I used GitHub copilot in my vscode setup. Claude Code is its agent mode on steroids: highly configurable, seems to have much larger context window, can write "memories", has hooks now. Highly recommend trying it out. The time it saved me in first few hours of use easily made the monthly fee worthwhile. I did hit a limit near the four-hour mark (resets every five hours for us Pro subscribers), but just went and reviewed the ~1700 lines it added in that time and cleaned up the config files (updated todos etc)

  Cursor is still the best when you don’t have access to a Claude subscription.

    You get CC when you sign up for their $20 plan also.

      Without Opus (larger model), for $20 you get only Sonnet. $100 and $200 plans have Opus.

        100$ gets you very little opus

        It's honestly so little opus that i'm not sure if $200 would be enough to be useful lol. I use a ton of Sonnet and if Opus was much better i might subscribe to the $200 plan, but it feels like Opus runs out so quick that the 5x to 20x usage would be pointless. Ie 4x (near)0 is still 0 to me.

      True, but if the limits are anything like Opus on the $100 plan you won’t get much use out of it :)

  To be frank? I can't justify paying for a single-purpose LLM service subscription: Cursor has have a 1-year free educational plan, and for general-purpose multimodal reasoning model work (e.g. OCR, general knowledge reference, math computations, prose processing), I already have a ChatGPT Plus subscription. It's the streaming service dilemma all over again.

  I was using it for o3 when sonnet is unable to successfully implement something - but I use ZenMCP now. I still feel like I can review diffs more efficiently in an ide, but I'm pretty much just mosh-ing into my server and have a few tmux windows going and feel I'm starting to get a bit more efficient. Still considering the Claude max 20x plan to just use opus 100% of the time though

  Cursor has the best tab completion model. I use it together with Claude Code. $20 Cursor Pro plan and $200 MAX Claude Code plan really is a great great pairing.
