The domain is strange, I recently submitted cursor.sh, but this has a .so TLD, so which is the canonical one?
Anyway, I saw this product but continued to use VSCode because with GitHub Copilot Chat [0], it's basically the same thing plus I don't want to run a fork of VSCode, who knows how often it'll be updated, compared to running VSCode directly.
Is there a reason this has to be a fork instead of an extension? I guess it’s easier to customise it deeply but it would probably be better as a extension if possible
I'm not sure why it's not an extension either as GitHub Copilot Chat [0] is doing something very similar plus it's included in my Copilot subscription already.
Why would someone pay for this over using ChatGPT or Copilot Chat? Yeah you might have to copy and paste instead of it writing directly in you editor but both of them offer way more than this especially ChatGPT.
On top of that Google is releasing a similar application (VSCode + AI) for free.
I don't see why they didn't just make this a plugin for VSCode editors. Probably would be a better product.
From what I can tell, their 'local' mode still can't use your own LLM model, just host it yourself, and still charged per request despite using my own hardware to run? Very confusing.
