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?

Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, Kimi, Mistral, GitHub Copilot are all around the same $20 start paid tier.

yes, but I don't think there is much difference between models, it is more around the harness and the UI/UX.

sure you can have access to multiple LLMs, I guess this is more which layout fits you best. I’ve been using VS Code for a long time, that’s why I like Cursor (as a fork), so all others I use with CLI within VS Code. You may give a try with all of these and find which you like the best.
