Given that there's a dozen agentic coding IDEs, I only use Cursor because of the few features they have like auto-identification of the next cursor location (I find myself hitting tab-tab-tab-tab a lot, it speeds up repetitive edits). Are there any other IDEs that implement these QOL features, including Void (given it touts itself specifically as a Cursor alternative)?
I think QOL will shift away from your keyboard. Give Claude Code a try and you’ll understand what I mean. Developer UX will shift away from traditional IDEs. At this point I could use notepad for the the type of manual work I do vs how I orchestrate Claude Code.
The reason I have never bothered with Claude Code (or even other agentic tools), is that I still code mostly by hand.
When I am using LLMs, I know exactly what the code should be and just am using it as a way to produce it faster (my Cursor rules are extremely extensive and focused on my personal architecture and code style, and I share them across all my personal projects), rather than producing a whole feature. When I try and use just the agent in Cursor, it always needs significant modifications and reorganization to meet my standards, even with the extensive rules I have set up.
Cursor appeals to me because those QOL features don't take away the actual code writing part, but instead augment it and get rid of some of the tedium.
