I'm hearing some good things about Cursor, it's a fork of VS Code with AI built in, subscription based.

Some VSCode extensions from a quick search:

Tabnine

Amazon Q

Codeium

Blackbox

CodeGPT

Gemini Code Assist

With all these agent, I am beginning to feel they all have the 'same' source and only differentiate in the UI/UX component. My mind is into the route to use AI agent as an exercise to create yet another, AI agent.
I tried cursor recently. It has potential but as it is is very alpha feeling and clunky. Better than copilot but maybe less productive.

And probably worse than the copilot, aider and vscode combo

In some ways it makes sense to run your own LLM locally, one that's optimized for your tech stack and code base. For this reason I prefer the concept of Continue to Cursor.
