This seems like I just read an advertisement. Or submarine article as PG would say.

AI studio is just another IDE like cursor so its a very odd choice to say one is bad and the other is the holy grail:)

But I guess this is what guerilla advertising is these days.

  Just another random account with 8 karma points that just happens to post an article about how one IDE is bad and its almost identical cousin is the best

AI Studio isn't an IDE, it's just a web page with a chat interface. It's not even a product, really.

OP is actually advocating against Google's latest products here. Surely a submarine would hype Antigravity and Gemini 3 Pro instead?

Google does tend to have large contexts and sometimes reasonable prices for it. So if one of the main takeaway is load everything into context then I can certainly understand why author is a fan

lmao, per Occam's razor a much simpler explanation - I'm a grad student, so of course I'll spend more time exploring free tools, and it just happened that AI Studio with Gemini is really great.

if google wants to send a check, my email is open, lmao, but for now i'm optimizing for tokens per dollar
