I probably would switch to Cursor for Swift projects too if it weren't for the fact that I will still need Xcode to compile the app.

I also agree with the non-AI parts of JetBrains stuff being much better than the non-AI parts of Cursor. Jetbrain's refactoring tools is still very unmatched.

That said, I think the AI part is compelling enough to warrant the switch. There are code rewrite tasks that JetBrains would struggle with, that LLMs can do fairly easily.

JetBrains is very interesting, what are the best performing extensions out there for it?

I do wonder what api level access do we get over there as well. For sidecar to run, we need LSP + a web/panel for the ux part (deeper editor layer like undo and redo stack access will also be cool but not totally necessary)
