Cursor is weird. They have a basically unused GitHub with a thousand unanswered Issues. It's so buggy in ways that VSCode isn't. I hate it. Also I use it everyday and pay for it.

That's when you know you've captured something, when people hate use your product.

Any real alternatives? I've tried continue and was unimpressed with the tab completion and typing experience (felt like laggy typing on a remote server).

Agreed. My laptop has never used swap until I started using cursor… it’s a resource hog, I dislike using it, but it’s still the best AI coding aid and for the work I’m doing right now, the speed boost is more valuable than hand crafted code in enough cases that it’s worth it for me. But I don’t enjoy using the IDE itself, and I used vscode for a few years.

Personally, I will jump ship to Zed as soon as it’s agent mode is good enough (I used Zed as a dumb editor for about a year before I used cursor, and I love it)

I find that if you turn off telemetry (i.e. turn on privacy) the resource hogging slows down a lot
