After using Cursor (another AI focused fork) I'm 100% on the fork train. AI built natively into the IDE presents another layer of speed and isn't subject to the limitations of the extension system (which is awesome in its own right, not a knock on it).

I was on the fork train for awhile but cursors keeps having weird issues with indexing, intellisense, not being able to save files when format on save is enabled I wound up going back to vscode with cline and use openrouter to save money via prompt caching. To my knowledge cursor doesn't have Claude sonnets computer use enabled yet which is a total game changer and cline does I'll check back in a few months but instead of paying 20 a month for cursor pro I can put 20 in credits in openrouter and fully leverage the latest Claude model and features

how do you use the computer usage.. I do find it a very interesting API layer to play around with

I've been using it recently to have cline check my local dev server to review it's changes and iterate if there is anything off with the design changes it has made. Example prompt:

I have attached a screenshot of an updated design for the Navbar component. My local dev server is running at localhost:3000. Update the component to match the new designs and double check your changes after save.

But doesn't Cline consume lots of tokens?
