Cursor is turning Intellij into a glorified task runner
Answered
Ever since trying out Cursor I can't go back to intellij without all the multiline auto completes, tab jumping, and cmd+K code generations etc.
I have loved intellij but the AI game really needs to improve, I only use it for Java (which is fairly rare, mainly coding in go and ts), and for run configurations that has been a pain in Cursor for me. And that is probably solvable with some more time dedicated to it.
Are there any known plans to up the functionality in the AI autocomplete to match Cursor? Or maybe partnering with cursor? I would prefer to keep using Intellij if it had the same flow but currently it's so far behind.
