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!
Please you guys at Jetbrains, integrate a chatgpt feature within Intellij in the likes of cursor IDE (especially integrate that cmd+k feature with gpt or claude). This is really frustrating for devs to have only terrible third party plugins available, or your ai model which is quite frankly not on par with the competition. I'm actually thinking about leaving behind Jetbrains for VSCode because you guys are lagging behind.
What I personally experienced with JetBrains AI is that their suggestions are quite irrelevant. Even if I ask in chat about an opened page, it is not answering about it correctly, only if I point out that it should check the opened window. Also, if I had a question about Bash, and in the same chat asked another question, it gave me examples not only about Bash but also about Python and JS, which I didn't need. It feels like it loses the context of the conversation. And also, please use a better AI model; I don't know what Cursor uses, but for me personally, Claude is the best. I canceled my JB AI subscription a few weeks ago because it's not relevant, and it seems Cursor would be a good replacement. I'm not really ok with VS Code as an IDE but because of all this AI stuff...
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!
Hey Cursor folks, it’s a shame you didn’t fork IJ IDEA IDE as your baseline for Cursor ;-) . I’m a power IJ user and it’s a tough decision to switch to a different IDE for the sake of an Ai coding assistant. Plus, as stated at the end of this video, even though Cursor shines in the area of Ai integration, it has some significant shortcomings. We, IDE power users, don’t want to have to (and I’d argue shouldn’t have to) compromise when it comes to such a fundamental, core, critical tool of any developer that an IDE is.
@@GrizzlaBear-24 google the connection between copilot and cursor - if you cant connect the obvious - then no source will help you to decipher what is going on with millions dropped on cursor by no other than copilot -
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
@paulywalnutz5855 I don't use the generate feature much, it is the auto-complete that is the real deal. Saves so much time. It can auto-complete and suggest code on multiple lines accurately. Also the in-built GPT saves so much time because I don't have to copy-paste stuff to and from the chatgpt website every time. As to the generation, I use it when I don't know how to write a logic at all and this makes me learn it. For example I did not know how to make a selection logic for filtering e-commerce products, I asked it to generate it, and it did. And I learned the logic! And it did it accurately and efficiently because it has access to my whole project.
@@Sub0x-x40 I asked ChatGPT for example to tell me all "chapters" (in ascending order so to say) that I'd have to go through in order to learn C++ for example, and for each chapter (and sub-chapter) it should generate an exercise. And for none of those exercises should it give me the immediate solution unless I specifically ask for it. When I don't know something, I ask it to guide me in such a way that I can get to the solution myself. If I fail to get to the solution, I let the AI generate the solution for me. And that way I learn the logic behind the solution AND the proper syntax.
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.
Nice vid! On 3.52 "you have to manually replace all function name references" - what are you talking about? Don't you use F2 feature? Or did I misunderstood?
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!
I used this to fix up a Astro landing page on netlify, w. Claude, it’s so much better than codegpt, supermaven in VS. I have near zero coding experience and skills. What cursor had over the others was that I was able to converse in a way that I was not able to with the others. It was also pretty decent when it made mistakes and i already inserted the code to fix up mistakes on building, I would just highlight those mistakes and have a chat with it and it would fix everything. I mean, I don’t even know what you programmers nowadays are getting paid for ha ha😅
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?
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.
my thoughts exactly ... except 2 things, the new beta copilot which you need to sign and wait for did closed the gap on cursor as it has this inline and shortcuts and RAG shortcuts and actions that cursor has, cursor is integrated into all the windows so you have AI in cli's too which is crazy for Devops works while coding, I also enjoy Jetbrains but the assistant is so horrible I ended up canceling it although I paid for it I basically now run 2 ides which is stupid +1 for Jetbrains having those features I could have programed those into an extension but building extensions for jetbrains is like 2 times harder then VSCODE so I guess Jetbrains needs to buy them out :)
@@YourAverageTechBrowow, thanks for share. I also struggle to move from excellent webstorm into cursor vs code ide. I hope as u say webstorm will add this functionally also some day
GH Copilot and AI Assistant have had the content aware feature for some time now, but GH Copilot often uses more 3.5 GPT and JetBrains AI also uses a combination of 3.5 and 4 plus their own LLM. In cursor you can use whatever type of model you need from ChatGPT and even some of Gemini, Claude, Llama, etc. Don't need to worry about some extensions and their usability and stability. I think VS Code is going to be improved in time, but not in this line.
Nice succinct overview of Cursor. Did you use the default model, aka ChatGPT? I’ve heard Claude 3.5 is even better. Also - if you really dislike VS Code give Zed a try.
Cursor, Ecliplse thea like once you taste electron you can never leave it and as cant leave so just for vs code and add some new feature most of which can be added just by building an extension and if you want build using native or better crossplatform framework
Jetbrains is a funny company, they have great ideas. Even their learning product, hyperskill, is honestly a really good idea, BUT IT'S SO BLOATED AND SLOW, rather hit myself in the family jewels than use it. Now, their editors aren't so slow, but like you pointed out, definitely bloated.
Hey! Do you know where i can make like demo videos of my saas to put it on landing page? idk how to explain but there is also like a moving cursor, zoom etc (startups usually put it as their demo on landing page)
I bet you this has a lot of start ups scrambling lol. Well... if it's boot strapped implementing a.i more into vs code probably wouldn't be too challenging
Hi Bro! I love what you're doing and new subscriber here! By the way, I help content creators to increase their online presence through video editing and enhancing their post and reels for better engagement and audience retention, which is why I'm tuning into your vlog and learning a lot. Just sending this message because I love your work!
oh wow an AI that will read my entire codebase and generate more unmaintainable react, sorry, serverless nextjs on the edge, best in class, used by - bullshit that nobody is gonna understand and probably sell that same codebase to
I wasn’t able to finish watching the video. It feels like a paid advertisement. Did they offer you a paid tier for this video? Copilot is x2 cheaper than Cursor. About the features: 1. You can bind a shortcut to open Copilot chat to get a similar experience. 2. How often do you change the function names? Especially extending a simple function with extra logic. Using imaginary problem to demonstrate a solution is a bad idea. Also, using bad coding practices.
That code wouldn't pass code review at my company. You're expected to be able to write code that is reusable (as in you put it in a method and then call that method when needed and use dependency injection to change it's behavior), why not just learn to write better code so that calling the method is a lot faster than asking a search prompt to go search for code for you?

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.
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
yeah or Ctrl+RR in VS - it's such a basic and old feature
I was going crazy watching him. Yeah, super simple to do in VSCode
you shouldn't be changing function names with find and replace, you should be using "refactor" which automatically changes all instances for you
Yea I was scratching my head when he said that was a huge feature over VSCode, you don't need AI for function name refactoring.
@@dollarquantums i guess i commented too soon because later he shows refactoring the normal way ... but then why say the AI way does anything for you?
it can refactor the function name and logic
fyi: github's copilot has recently invested few millions of smackeroonies into cursor ide - so expect either a merger or a buyout next year -

Built Source Control from VS code is much better than gitlens. I just got git history and git graph and that basically checks the rest of the boxes.

i watched his vid the other day too haha. def try out cursor though - it's pretty good
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).

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