I like your take and think the key takeaway is that there is no single answer for everyone. It’s like eMacs vs vim.

My one question is what popups exist in cursor? It is my daily driver and I cannot recall any popups.

The code suggestions. It's highly distracting and pulls me out of my flow. I know how to code and I don't mind typing. I don't need AI making trivial suggestions. I want it to do exactly what I tell it to do.

I like cursor, but I'm assuming they're talking about how it hijacks your tab key. It's amazing when it works, and infuriating when I just want to insert a damn tab!
