Had a horrible time with Github copilot personally. It just wasn't 'smart' enough and I felt I ended up double checking more than I would like.

Recently started using Cursor compose. It really good and generally makes me code a lot faster. But I have noticed that you have to ensure its following best practices.

For example, if you are writing some React code, you really have to ask it to break up components into files / sub-components, otherwise you end up with a 1000 line long file

Which model do you use for React? Different models behave quite differently. Sonnet-3.5 seems to do quite well at writing several files at once.
