Things are changing so fast with these vscode forks I m barely able to keep up. Which one are you guys using currently? How does the autocomplete etc, compare between the two?

90% of their features could fit inside a VS Code extension.

There are already a few popular open-source extension doing 90%+ of what Cursor is doing - Cline, Roo Code (a fork of Cline), Kilo Code (a fork of Roo Code and something I help maintain).

The other 10% being what differentiates them in the market :)

Of course. Are they useful enough though for people to install an entirely new software?

Cursor itself is making 200 million a year now so I presume yes.
