I tried using cursor-ai for some time, basically for HTML, CSS, a bit of vanilla JavaScript, and Tailwind, not bad at all with the above, but later, after two weeks, the limit became unusable, turns out the “Free” comes with a 2 week free trial
Without it, you are switched from Claude to “Cursor-small” in the CTRL+L menu, and the autocomplete stops working
In any case, I think subscribing to cursor-ai is a good idea, the time it saves you writing things that are not core to your work is well worth it, but I wanted to experiment with something new, so….
Cursor-AI is basically a modified VS Code, and since Claude 3.5 Sonnet seems to be my favorite coding AI, i researched a bit and found that there is a plugin for VS-Code that does the same if I subscribe to Anthropic API !
So, after getting my API key from anthropic (the people behind Claude), all i needed to do was install a plugin (Tried more than one plugin, CodeGPT, and Cline by Saoud Rizwan), once installed, I need to enter my API key into the settings, and that is it.
Cline suits my needs better than CodeGPT for the time being, but i did not use them extensively yet, so it is too early to declare a winner
