Why Cursor Is The Best AI Code Editor #softwareengineer #coding #developer #ai #programming

[pavi]

I don't know why people dislike it, i tested Cursor myself and it works very smoothly.

It sucks, the codebase indexing feature doesn’t even work. Might as well just use GPT 4o or Claude

[Linkario]

That seems to lead to bad design choices, and it's nothing Copilot can't do.

use VSCode with Cody AI instead. it uses Claude SOnnet 3.5 too

You say that, but I saw that red squiggly line on youtube_posts after the second generation. So there were still some edits after the fact on particular lines.

Seems like it’s not breaking down code into components so it’s breaking all the DRY principles a good developer should follow.

I would not use it. I want to understand what the code does exactly so I can fix problems if any arise quickly.

[raghavaggsss]

Probably best to make 6 different files for this

[QuebnQ]

developers will do anything other than writing code.

[chenrvn]

So you are replace to cursor or stayed in web storm?

Why?

Thanks for sharing

[OriahVinree]

It's great for people who don't know how to code

[DhoaCS]

Just use aider with a locally hosted model

[Mdr]

An open source fork of co pilot thats being monetized is what you're calling the best..😂

You're overhyping the shit out of this. It generated a very simple code and not even nicely written. Try dumping some project in cursor and watch it break.

I would never want a guy that uses AI to code for him to work at my company. Too unreliable
