I've had an excellent experience with Cursor: https://www.cursor.com/en
I used VSCode as my default IDE so the switch was very natural.
I am working on machine learning in bio, and many of the tools, methods, and data structures are very domain specific. Even so, the agent feature is good enough that for most tasks, I can describe the functionality I want and it gets me 80% of the way there. I pay $20 a month for Cursor and it has quickly become the last subscription I would cancel.
How's the compatibility with VSCode extensions?
100% compatibility
Not 100% — live share doesn’t work for realtime paired programming. There is an open source alternative extension that works though, albeit even more buggy and slightly more clunky than the official Microsoft extension.
