Ask HN: Cursor alternative, EU-based or privacy-focused?

1•BrunoBernardino•1h ago
I like Cursor's autocomplete and have experimented Mistral's Vibe (their Claude competitor, one could say).

I'm not into "vibe coding" in the sense that I don't like asking an LLM to build huge swaths of things, but I sometimes use Cursor's agent feature to add similar features (imagine I already have a bunch of settings for somethings, and I ask it to add a new setting for something else. With the right pointers this is helpful and does save me time — I already have all the foundation set and basically saves me from "grunt work" that's easy/quick to verify and low complexity/cognition to build).

Mistral's Vibe worked well enough for this, but isn't as neatly integrated, so I'd like to know if there's something like a Cursor alternative that's privacy-focused and/or EU-based, as I'd prefer that to Cursor (especially with the recent SpaceX deal, and how many privacy-related bugs they've shipped recently that they can't seem to fix, like not being able to delete chat history).

I tried Zed and really liked its speed and simplicity, but the autocomplete is much worse (using Zed's or even using Mistral's). Void has been discontinued and I haven't tried VS Code recently because last time I opened it, it tried to force Copilot down my throat so much I almost puked.

Am I looking for something that doesn't exist? Will I just need to keep using Cursor and hope it doesn't "go bad"? Should I just go back to VS Code or Vs Codium?

Thank you for your suggestions!
