Exactly why I never went with getting copilot, I instead got a chatgpt subscription and prompt for stuff I need.
I do sort of regret it too, sometimes you just want to give more context and it's a hassle at that time. Figuring out what is it you need to paste to ensure the model has adequate context to generate something valid. Also, Claude is magnitudes superior to ChatGPT anything. Both are terrible at implementing abstract completely unique code blocks, however ChatGPT is significantly more "markov-y" when it comes to generating any code. When Claude gets things wrong it feels like a more human mistake.
Anyway, with 50% of HN obsessing over Cursor, is it worth it? I couldn't get it to open projects I have in WSL2 and I kind of gave up at that point. I've gotten far with Claude's free tier and $20 for just cursor seems steep for something that's not as stable.
Have you assessed Zed auto completion or read about others experience of it? Zed seems like something with a more stable foundation than any of these VSCode forks.
