Cursor as a JetBrains IDE-plugin

What if Cursor was an IntelliJ plugin? A lot of people, including myself, prefer JetBrains over VS Code, and having Cursor as a plugin for IntelliJ would be amazing. JetBrains’s AI assistant isn’t the best, so having Cursor integrated would be a great alternative.

If the plugin functioned exactly as it does now but within IntelliJ, it would make development much smoother. JetBrains IDEs, like IntelliJ, also support Minecraft plugin and modding development. something VS Code lacks. Right now, I find myself constantly switching between Cursor for coding and IntelliJ for debugging. A native Cursor plugin for IntelliJ would be a lot nicer and it could just be included with the Pro plan.

the cursor team has talked in the past that what they’re building goes beyond what a plugin in VS Code can do, which is why they forked VS Code. Given they are an early stage startup, splitting their focus from their core product.

Lookup continue[dot]dev if you want to have better AI in IntelliJ.

I used to use it and Cursor, but now I mainly use Cursor because they have made a really great UX.
