The elephant in the room is that there's nothing quite like Cursor Tab. Copilot, Supermaven, Codecompanion, etc. don't even come close. As much as I want to use Neovim full time, I just can't walk away from Cursor Tab. I can live without Cursor Agent since I can just use Claude Code when I need an agent.

Until something comparable for Neovim comes out, I just don't see how I can switch back. I would happily pay for this. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the same boat as me.

I switched from Cursor to Neovim and at first I hated Neovim’s poor AI ghost text. Now I kind of like the break from heavy AI when I write code.

The vast vast majority of my code is written by Claude Code, so I don’t write much. But when I do it’s like an exercise in warding off programming atrophy

You should be able to code without the bells and whistles.
Most dont want that slop in their code. I have no issues with just writing the code myself. The "typing code" was never a bottleneck, and AI wont help for the real bottlenecks you have in an business setting.
