(One of the Cursor devs here)

We forked VSCode because we wanted to change the UI in ways Microsoft wouldn't allow (e.g. our Cmd-K isn't possible as a VSC plugin; Microsoft is building their own version and isn't letting plugins use it)

Indeed I can't see the point of shipping the "AI first" feature as a whole editor. It seems to me that it should be a feature of any editor, or else I'd like to be convinced by arguments less marketing oriented than those I see on the home page.

On the website: "Cursor is a fork of VSCode"

Easier to monetize but more effort spent in keeping up with upstream. Good for extracting money from dumb VCs, bad for users.

I see download options for windows, linux, and mac.

It appears to have windows support also?
