I Finally Tried The AI-Powered VS Code Killer | Cursor IDE Review

[JetBrainsTV]

Hey, thanks for the shoutout and for sharing your honest thoughts! We’d love to chat about what you’re looking for and see how we can improve the general AI experience. Let’s connect!

[lukemelas]

Luke from Cursor here. Thanks so much for the video! Super happy to hear you're enjoying Cursor. Also really appreciate the feedback (esp. about git and refactoring). We're working all the time to make Cursor even better and videos like these are super helpful!

[ChrisSattinger]

hit F2 in VSCode (and probably Cursor) and it will rename a function or variable and change all references in the project. No AI required

[lcarv]

Cursor is not “built from the ground up”. It is a fork of vscode focused on ai features. Zed though, is an editor built from scratch.

[nickburlakov]

Dude, I love your content. You look a little bit tired comparing to old videos. I hope you're well and get enough sleep. Cheers, you the best <3

[keslauche]

Point 1. You can rename a variable, class, function including all it's references in VSCode too just hit F2

Point 2. You can use Git history extension in vs code, combined with the built in source control is way better than GitLens in my opinion (free)

Point 3. Cursor forked a whole project without giving credit for it

[Sirusx]

you shouldn't be changing function names with find and replace, you should be using "refactor" which automatically changes all instances for you

[NashBrooklyn]

fyi: github's copilot has recently invested few millions of smackeroonies into cursor ide - so expect either a merger or a buyout next year -

[BloodBunn]

Cursor has changed my coding life and fast-tracked my learning process 1000%

[erikjohnson]

I also recommend Cody because you can choose the model to use, do in-place editing, and give exact context (specific files, or whole project).

I noticed you were using gpt 4o in the video. Have you tried Claude 3.5 Sonnet? Been coding 10x as better for me, and way better experience. Truly a game-gahnger.

Glad to see you making a video on Cursor! Been using it for months now, and it still blows my mind to this day. Keep up the great work!

[michalkos]

You should try JetBrains, with Codeium extension. Basically what Cursor offers, with shortcuts etc and all in JetBrains IDE

[vladkuz]

Does it get your entire project's code as context? Would it be able to access code from another folder to write other functions or unit tests? That would be really useful, you should absolutely test your AI generated code as you go.

was seeing pan’s work on Pear AI talking about cursor but was too lazy to look into it so glad you made this video hahaha

[AbdulkarimG]

The user exaperience is already there for Copilot in Vs Code, referring the highlighted code automatically, having a shortcut on top of the highlighted code to chat, I mean all of it. And it is also at the upload time of this video. What is going on?

[AnthonyGalati]

I use Jetbrains and I really like the supermaven plugin. Does really well and you can add files to context. Works with Claude and OpenAI.

[smudgepost]

Great demo. Would love to see you review codeium that I've tried after seeing it in fireship channel

[santiagotrias]

Also, you didn't mention the best feature that is the "Accept/Reject" for changes and git style with Red and Green lines for changes.

[NotToji]

Metrix: cursor just using vscode as their Code editor with a ai copilot.
Just like browser companies silver wrapped with chromium and a pre-installed ad blocker.

[QuantumVoid-rohi]

Why is everyone talking about Cursor and not Aider when Aider knows your entire codebase!
