It’s amazingly good, but it will be scaringly good when there will be a way to include the entire codebase in the context and let it create and run various parts of a large codebase autonomously. Right now I can only do patch work and give specific code snippets to make it work. Excited to try this new version out, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed,
Edit: I just tried claude code CLI and it's a good compromise, it works pretty well, it does the discovery by itself instead of loading the whole codebase into context
FWIW, there's a project to turn it into something similar, though I think it's lacking the "entire in context" part and runs into rate limits quick with Claude.

The few times I've tested it out though it fails fairly quick and gets hung up (usually on setting up the project while testing with Kotlin / Go).
Cursor AI is getting there.
cursor is just a wrapper to the apis and is unnecessarily expensive, I use zed editor with custom API keys and it works super well
