its not just the models, their auto complete is actually really good. when you make a change it will give you "tab to next" which makes refactors super easy.

composer 2.5 is also a very decent model, it go 90% of my AI tasks using it now.

So 60B dollars and your primary reason it’s worth that is “tab to next” autocomplete?

I tried it a few times and was not convinced by the autocomplete.

I found it less effective than free copilot autocomplete on vanilla VSCode.

Yes, that's why Cursor was very popular when actually reading model output paragraph by paragraph was still the way you used them. That's no longer the case, their use has cratered, and in fact they have been disintermediated by their model vendors, leaving an empty shell.

composer 2.5 is literally just a fine-tuned kimi model, and the autocomplete is exteremly meh.

The only kind of AI I want in my editor is an autocomplete, but this isn't very magical to non-programmers (their TAM) or all that valuable (you can't charge thousands), they bought Supermaven and basically killed it, I'm not sure how you think tab is really good, I've not been impressed when I played around with it.
