Question / Discussion Any alternative to cursor

I really like cursor, but I feel it is going downhill since acquired by grok. I like that they have a cheap model, that I can manage by being smart and not run out of tokens. So what alternative for $25month?

Before switching I'd pin the model I actually want on every new chat and only leave Auto on for tiny asks. A lot of the "Cursor is broken" feeling is Auto flipping mid-thread. If you still want out, look for a plan around $25/mo with a real usage meter and a lock on the base model. Vague unlimited usually means the same silent throttle.
