<p>Yeah. I prefer 2FA. My passwords look like 1bTsby#ZNaz1TJDDzglL&MmD&HOCMd^Cc and having a separate device with a TOTP token is more secure.<p>I won’t be victim of url jacking since the password manager feels the form. And if it can’t then the domain name is wrong.<p>And if you steal all the keys/passwords, unlike with pass keys, that’s not enough. I don’t like having all my eggs in one basket no matter how shiny.</p>

<p>I do the same but I rely on devcontainers because editors like vscode, zed, etc… provide native support. It seems easier to use than asb.<p>If you open a project using a devcontainer it prompts you to build one. As long as you install all the tools you need in it, it just works.<p>Orbstack is much nicer than Docker to host the containers.</p>

<p>Thanks your your feedback.<p>I just retried Zed and yeah, it's much much better than last time I gave it a shot!!!<p>I turned on the review stuff, and yeah I can do more or less what I could in Cursor. Check something. Do a quick inline promtp for the three lines I dislike and move on.<p>And of course the editor is so much nimbler/nicer.<p>No plan mode, but for big edits I'd probably use codex or something just like you. If you have any advice for integrating for that flow, I'll take them.<p>I guess whatever advantage cursor has, it will die once "Sol" is no longer integrated, as it was my favorite heavy work model. But I sure will miss the snappy auto/composer stack of Cursor.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. It’s sort of what I do too when I use codex/claude/t3 code, but usually via GUI.<p>The in-editor context review is something that does not seem long for first world. Sadly.  Maybe I’ll be forced to make  a zed extension or something, maybe on top of jujustu…</p>

<p>Oh. Really? I guess that was not such an advantage after all… still cursor fast models are so much faster than what you get in Claude/codex.</p>

<p>I don’t see how opencode 2 (or 1) addresses any of my concerns. I thought it might avoid rg/grep the code base on every prompt but does not even seem to be the case.</p>

<p>In the case of TUIs I’m going to assume you review the code externally in neovim or lazy git or something like that?<p>I don’t like relying on GIT for that and making things as good/done as I go. But with these agentic tools that’s what I have to do. Stage everything I like, manually edits a few bits.<p>But what do you when you find something where you want to say the agent: I don’t like this for reasons x and y redo as z. I’m like one shortcut away in context inside cursor to say that to my agent? You have to change tab in herdr and then what? Type the file name and line numbers? Is there a way to do this that does not seem very frustrating?<p>Also open code, codex, etc.  super slow. They grep the code. Every. Single. Time. Cursor has a semantic index</p>

<p>I use codex all the time. It’s inferior to cursor for the two reasons mentioned. It rediscovers the world with rg (no indexing). Wall of diff at the end.<p>The GUI slightly better than Claude. And it’s a million times cheaper than Claude.</p>

<p>I do like Zed as an editor and I keep trying it out<p>but the the review what the AI did by jumping directly into the file with accept/reject/go next/next file with the ability to edit in place was nowhere near as good in zed vs cursor last I checked.</p>

<p>Is there some kind of alternative to Cursor in these terms<p>- fast because the code is already indexed no need to start every prompt rediscovering the world with rg<p>- in editor/vscode review much better than relying on git diff at the very end. You can click on next button to jump there. Quick edit in place. Or a quick prompt (seconds) to fix something small<p>- in editor completion / quick edits, when you do things by hand.<p>It seems that everyone loves agentic Claude code things these days but I don’t understand how you can review what it did and remain as much in the flow as you do with cursor.<p>Also I find that incredibly slow. By the time Claude finished a prompt I could have done a few in cursor.<p>And mind you, I’ve been wanting to use zed instead but the clunky vscode fork called cursor. But cursor has just a better UX for AI integration even though it’s slow and guzzle up RAM.</p>

<p>The Snapdragon X2 Elite / Extreme are a thing but they lag a bit on the GPU side compared to to Apple.<p>But it’s not setting the PC laptop market on fire, and I’m quite surprised as well… I guess Lunar lake and the few ARM compatibility issues make it a worse option?</p>
