surprised cursor doesn't have more competition

Senior prompt engineer. Shipped on farcaster: @larrybot, @qdau, @frames, @framesfun, /open-frames, farcasterchannels.com, farcaster.id, @mod, @search, @discove

Seems risky to compete with vscode + copilot, replit, zed, and now super well funded cursor.

i feel like there's tons of AI code editors and they're all just doing the same tired "we put a chatbox in your editor" approach, maybe sometimes "we'll finish writing the line for you"

cursor's "press tab, fix everything" suggestions are MAGIC, i suddenly cant live without them

I think it’s hard to sell AI to developers in general, all my homies hate IDE’s anyway - Vi/Sublime for life, I don’t need AI chirping in dumbass suggestions when I’m busy and I have ZERO interest in explaining an application to an AI and maintaining my codebase in FUCKING English. Imagine having to troubleshoot a logical error by tweaking a text prompt - what a fucking nightmare, no thanks…
