  "textContent": "I like Cursor’s autocomplete and have experimented Mistral’s Vibe (their Claude competitor, one could say).\n\nI’m not into “vibe coding” in the sense that I don’t like asking an LLM to build huge swaths of things, but I sometimes use Cursor’s agent feature to add similar features (imagine I already have a bunch of settings for somethings, and I ask it to add a new setting for something else. With the right pointers this is helpful and does save me time — I already have all the foundation set and basically saves me from “grunt work” that’s easy/quick to verify and low complexity/cognition to build).\n\nMistral’s Vibe worked well enough for this, but isn’t as neatly integrated, so I’d like to know if there’s something like a Cursor alternative that’s privacy-focused and/or EU-based, as I’d prefer that to Cursor (especially with the recent SpaceX deal, and how many privacy-related bugs they’ve shipped recently that they can’t seem to fix, like not being able to delete chat history).\n\nI tried Zed and really liked its speed and simplicity, but the autocomplete is much worse (using Zed’s or even using Mistral’s — it seems UX-limited). Void has been discontinued and I haven’t tried VS Code recently because last time I opened it, it tried to force Copilot down my throat so much I almost puked.\n\nAm I looking for something that doesn’t exist? Will I just need to keep using Cursor and hope it doesn’t “go bad”? Should I just go back to VS Code or Vs Codium?\n\nThank you for your suggestions!",
