Ask HN: Have you made the switch to an AI code editor?

3 points by valianter 1y ago ↗ HN

I've been seeing news about all these AI co-pilots/code generators and I'm wondering if anyone has actually made a full time switch for >1 month.

Extensions like Coedium and co-pilot are fairly easy to install and use but I've been hearing about Zed and Cursor a lot. Is anyone actually using these products or is it just more hype.

I'm curious about these too, but when I do want to use AI code gen I normally just talk through it with GPT-4 or a similar tool and then integrate its answers into my existing codebase.

I love my Jetbrains too much to switch :(

Jetbrains's own AI is terrible though, worse than even Copilot v1.
