Agree, I recently started using Zed as my primary IDE, with Cursor as my secondary when I need an llm to write a lot code. I really prefer the less hard in approach of Zed so far. I’ve intentionally not enabled any of the Ai add-on / free trial Claude stuff to keep Zed less intrusive.

Btw - I try to always check in and have a clean slate before I get Cursor involved, that way if it goes nuts rewriting stuff or flat out fails at the task I can easily discard the change.
