At @Bucket, we're always looking for products that can boost productivity and inspire us to build better software. We recently experimented with @Cursor to replace @Github Copilot. Key takeaways Tab completion: Cursor includes a helpful tab completion feature, suggesting refactorings and improvements as you go — huge time saver! Chat: the chat/composer is better than Copilot as it can modify across files in the codebase. However, we still needed to correct the code most of the time :/ Full context: Cursor has full context, so it provides more helpful advice and changes Generating comments: it makes it easier to add code comments — they need clarifications from time to time tho Working with existing codebases: Cursor seems better at writing code from scratch than contributing to large
