alt Hacker NewsI am pissed off by people calling Cursor an IDE.
VSCode it is based on is text editor.
AI features are great but it is not IDE.

This. I hate VSCode as an IDE and is the reason why I have not used Cursor. I wish Jetbrains actually had some brains to build a better coding agent inside their IDEs (which I think are one of the best out there), but for now Im stuck with codex/cc + Jetbrains IDE
What do you define as an IDE then? I think something with an integrated terminal, file system and git UI is the essential set for most development.
