Don't get me started. For every half-decent choice, there's a multitude of insane choices. After all this time they still don't have side-by-side review.
Equally as annoying, the break from VSCode is horrible. Having to use a separate registry, not having basic settings sync, the delay behind mainline VSCode updates.
Then, it's just plain buggier than others. The agent terminal just doesn't work semi-regularly, it doesn't like listing directories in the @, the SSH plugin crashes every other time it tries to connect, undoing agent work undoes edits I made in unrelated files sometimes. Sometimes updates just regress performance hard for seemingly no reason.
I also noticed the token use is wildly less efficient than CC or Codex these days. After almost no time at all it's up to 100,000 tokens and they're charging $1 per request for Sonnet. Side-by-side, Cursor spent $17 in the same time CC spent $4. Which is bizarre to me, since they advertise how their indexing and semantic search is more token efficient?
The autocomplete model was the only reason I stayed as long as I did. I wish there was a VSCode equivalent.
