Is cursor _that_ good on monorepo? My use with AI so far has been the chat interface. I provide a clear description of what i want and manually copy paste it. Using copilot, I couldn't buy their agentic mode nor adding files to the chat' session context. Gemini' large context has been really good handling large context, but still doesn't help much in refactoring.

Cursor is good as retrieving the appropriate context and baking it into your request, which significantly improves responses and reduces friction. It sometimes pulls generic config or other stuff that I might miss to include in a first attempt

If you can feed it the right context. Though I’m sure it’s more the model than Cursor doing the work. Cursor just makes it easy to apply and review.
