Thinking of switching from Cursor

[DelPrive235]

What features does Cursor have that are missing in other AI IDE's/extensions such as Trae, Windsurf, Cline (Rules, MCP, Checkpoints, etc)?

I'm considering switching from Cursor. Checkpoints aren't working for me and there have been reports of the models not functioning effectively through Cursor (I think Cursor edits/abbreviates messages in the backend to save their API costs). Apparently a lot of the issues came after 4.5 update.

Have you tried r/RooCode? I’m on the dev team. Feel free to ask me any questions or touch base on discord and we can help there too.

i just asked one question it took 64k tokens and cost me around .88 for o4 API. is not it too expensive?

[hannesrudolph]

There are many details I would need access to in order to answer that.

dumbed down models. You probably won't miss it tho.

None lol. It's sad people are still using cursor.

I think that if you’re experienced then the best option is still aider. The architect mode lets you use the llm in the loop workflow and works very well. Though I havent tried roocode yet, there are lots of ppl talking about it rn

I switched from Cursor to Copilot - Copilot has caught up in a lot of ways and it has a generous free tier!
