I don't understand the negativity. I use Cursor and love it.

Are there real challenges with forking VS Code? Yep. Are there glitches with LLMs? Sure. Are there other AI-powered coding alternatives that can do some of the same things? You betcha.

But net-net, Cursor's an amazing power tool that strongly extends what we can accomplish in any hour, day, or week.

AI replied to support email, and told people a session bug was a feature.

No, I get that. But that obvious screw-up is being conflated with assessments of "is Cursor any good?" "is Cursor still ahead of the pack?" "does LLM-assisted coding good/useful?" et cetera.

This one failure is kitchen-sinking into a broad list of grievances, perceived slights, or unrelated problems all at once. I don't understand that, since I'm finding Cursor to be strong, helpful, and constantly improving. My experience is entirely different from this list of grievances.
