I personally love Cursor but never using prompts. I just use it's auto-complete and smart-tab features it saves me a tonne of manual typing. (I type fast, yet now find switching to a "manual" editor annoyingly slow).

I don't let it write blocks of code, but usually I'm ~5 keystrokes into a line change or addition and it can complete the rest. I also use a text-file todo in the same project to help it with context of what I'm trying to do.

Yep, for all the gloss of these AI tools, I only found myself using autocomplete and smart-tab daily. And GH Copilot is actually not bad at all, and have integration with nvim.
