Apart from autocomplete, I got zero utility from Copilot, whereas I'm doing most coding via prompts in Cursor.
Maybe GPT4o changed things.
Hmm, I've definitely always used paid copilot models.
Perhaps it's my language of choice (Elixir)? Claude absolutely nails it, rarely gives me code with compilation errors, seems to know and leverage the standard library very well, idiomatic. Not the same with GPTs.
In my experience ChatGPT seems particularly bad at Elixir, presumably because there is a comparative lack of published code and discussion about it.

Likely a lack of recently published code. Claude has been trained more recently.

Is there a definite answer on what languages / paradigms LLMs tend to be better at?

Copilot user here, never tried Cursor yet, competition is always good.
did a quick check, it's $20/month, and it has a vim plugin: https://github.com/pasky/claude.vim
going to give it a spin

Copilot plugin is maintained by tpope which is not nothing

I have copilot too; it's good for edits, but one shot complete function generating, I don't find it very good at (while sonnet is imho).
Cursor offers some super marginal UX improvements over the latter (being that it’s a fork of VScode), since it allows you to switch models. But Claude and GPT have been interchangeable at least for my workflows, so I’m not sure the hype is really deserved.
I can only imagine the excitement comes from the fact that cursor has a full-fat free trial, and maybe most people have never bothered paying for copilot?
