There's a lot of options for models these days. I've been using Claude 3.7 but I'm curious what's been working well for others. What model are you using and why?
Is the thinking version of @Claude by Anthropic worth the extra credit spend? Does @DeepSeek work well enough to save some credits? Is it worth trying any of the @ChatGPT by OpenAI models?
I've been using @Spacemacs for a few years now. Recently, I started using @VS Code to "see what I was missing". I liked that linters and such seemed to work a bit smoother out of the box.I kept hearing:
VSCode is dead, Cursor is the way. Then I started hearing:
Windsurf is the way, Cursor is dead. Today I used Windsurf for the full day. Some raw thoughts:I like the icons! Treating it like an "op autocomplete" was pretty powerful! It made refactoring and quick changes really really fast.Asking it to make a bunch of changes doesn't flow well for me yet. I guess it's hard for me to grok the diffs quickly, and it just feels faster to be pushing code around myself. maybe this will change with experience.
When i wanted to "think hard" i found the autocomplete kind of annoying. i was trying to write some weird recursive code with bad variables names to quickly prototype. it would have been nice if I could say "chill out on the autocompletes until i finish this thought", maybe like a toggle somewhere? does this exist already?the center pop up menu is cool. how do i make the cascade drawer close from the keyboard? Cmd +B closes the left drawer -- something similar for "cascade" would be good to know. overall, i enjoyed it. will use again tomorrow.
