the "agent running wild" part is exactly why i can't commit to cursor for everything. it's great for refactoring a whole component, but having an agent rewrite my

z-index

layers across the entire project w/o me watching every line is a nightmare. i usually keep copilot active in my standard vs code setup just for that low-latency ghost text when i'm typing out boring boilerplate. it feels like using a sledgehammer when you only need a scalpel.

my current stack
claude 3.5 sonnet for the heavy lifting/logic, and copilot for the boring autocomplete stuff. do you find that having cursor open alongside other tools causes too much context switching?
