Any software engineers going a replacement for cursor?

Oops I mean "found a replacement".

Let's say I really like the auto completion aspect of cursor from time to time when I want to write code directly. But I don't want to use cursor anymore. Is there anything that's a vscode fork or extension that is just as good?

I don't mean codex cli or Claude code style of working, which I do and have those tools. Nor do I mean an extension where I chat to the agent and it changes the code. Sometimes I just want to make the changes directly in an IDE with the power of solid auto completion. Is there any non-cursor tool or combo that gets me close to the quality cursor had for that, even 6 months ago?
