People keep saying this but I have yet to find an integrated system that has good tab completion, cheap coding models and works well in an IDE. There are a number of options out there, none of them have captured much market share.

Zed seems to always suggest decent single-line comments for me, but I don't really use Zed for that that often.
Have tried it over time. I think it’s decent but I still found it to be not as great or quick as Cursor and the rest of their AI integration did not feel as compelling for my workflow.l but overall agree.
Isn't tab completion long dead?
Do you have a point? The whole package is compelling like I already said. Nobody has replicated it but everyone likes to ask what is the value but never share a compelling competing product. I am not Boris so I still write some code or make manual tweaks, autocomplete is nice.
Edit: I realize my question is maybe harsh but I think it’s valid for these drive by comments that drop a question like “isn’t tab completion dead?” Without any other substance it is a huge detractor to the comment quality of the site. At least add more substance or opinion.
All good, no offense from my side, apologies for the disturbance if it caused any. Generally would have just been curious if people still use tab completion much? Virtually all people I know have switched to Claude Code or Codex. I also read recently that Boris Cherny (CC creator) deleted his IDE. Of course that's marketing, but it shows the current state quite directly. So I'm wondering what your dev workflow looks like? Any why/when you use tab completion instead of coding agents.
