I’m guessing that development of secondary features (like a JetBrains integration) would be a distraction from main-line Cursor development, costing both money and time that could otherwise be spent on Cursor itself…
Now this might be a totally stupid idea but couldn’t a GoFundMe or KickStarter be set up for a Jetbrain integration?
No commitment would be needed unless a set goal was achieved, and Cursor would be the one setting the goal. Getting everything for free is fun and all, but development costs money.
Even if the “ask” was $2.000.000, in the line of “Put your money where your mouth is”, if there was enough true interest it would be apparent soon enough…
Yes please, Yes Please… We need this. I always used PhpStorm primarily, the DevX is just amazing, makes it impossible to make mistakes… but with Vs Code my effort doubles… most annoying part is how it cant even properly list the methods present within a class properly, like the earliest versions of intelij got this right…
Jetbrains is really great. He is completely more mature and useful than VSCode in some development aspects, such as his support for web development, which is obviously better than VSCode. Especially for some declaration jumps, VSCode cannot smoothly complete the required steps
+1, I cannot stand VSCode, I find tedious to do many tasks that I do in JetBrains without any issue.
I just use it to generate base code, and then work with Jetbrains IDEs. So, once JB make a good Cursor alternative, I will go with them, unless you do something else.
Same here. Instead of having a JetBrains plugin within Cursor, I would much prefer a Cursor AI plugin that can be installed directly into JetBrains — it would feel much more seamless to me. Honestly, I’d be happy to pay for two separate licenses if it means better coding comfort and integration.
My team would use Cursor if it had a jetbrains plugin, but until it does we can’t.
I believe it is impossible to overstate the amount of money you are leaving on the table and equally impossible to overstate the competition risks from Microsoft and Open AI you are taking on by focusing on VS Code.
Competitors have it, just saying that because I prefer Cursor, it is much better, but having that option on JB would be way better. I am only considering other tools because of the JB integrations
+1 on this. Unless cursor can provide the equivalent of GoLand + PhpStorm + IntelliJ + PyCharm independently, I think a universal plugin for JetBrains IDE would be sensational. I don’t see myself using Visual Studio Code instead. Too bad, because company is pushing toward Cursor, but that won’t happen if we need to relearn all our habits and IDE… I can’t have 3 IDEs open at the same time, already have 2
