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

>>permo-+3w4
Hmm. I double checked and I have privacy mode enabled, so I don't think that's the root cause. I also removed all but the bare essential extensions (only the theme I'm using and the core language support extensions for typescript and python).

Since writing this message 4 days ago, I've spent the last 2 days using Zed's beta agent mode and it doesn't swap. So whatever Cursor/vscode are doing, it eats my RAM.
