How does Zed compare to the tab completion in Cursor ("Cursor-tab")? It's honestly the only reason I have stuck with cursor in spite of the UI/UX being worse every single time I update it. Can I get something equivalent or better from Zed or some vscode fork/extension now? Admittedly I haven't looked in a bit, but it's seemed like nobody really cared about this workflow when I've tried in the past.
I do like Zed as an editor and I keep trying it out
but the the review what the AI did by jumping directly into the file with accept/reject/go next/next file with the ability to edit in place was nowhere near as good in zed vs cursor last I checked.
The features you mention are in Antigravity IDE v1, which I am trying as I still have a Gemini subscription.
No idea how long it will be around for, as Google Antigravity2 (more like Claude Code) is clearly the favoured way forward, plus the new Antigravity for VSCode Extension*, which I didn’t like as much when I tried it. It offers the same accept/reject hunk workflow, but I don’t know about editing in place. It doesn’t feel as if it has the tight integration of Antigravity IDE v1, which feels as if it was designed to challenge Cursor.
Having said that, much of the time I use Google Antigravity2 alongside a Jetbrains IDE. You can still review all diffs within Google Antigravity2 and attach comments to any line on order for a followup prompt to make amendments. But I still prefer the review and accept/reject hunk workflow.
There are things I will probably miss from Cursor, as they used to iterate on DX goodies quite quickly. For frontend tasks, I liked the idea of Cursor Browser being able to do a devtools-like selection of an element tree to be included in the chat context. I’ve been told there are similar extensions available for vanilla VSCode, so will have to see how good they are.
