We 100% have. I've seen significant improvements in many of the services I use.
Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Pi, Zed, Oh my Pi.
The recent improvements and optimizations for Redis.
Figma code, mcp and api.
The recent improvements to Uv, Pnpm, and others with autoresearch loops.
Cursor, Codex and Claude Code all have terrible desktop applications, which are a laggy mess on Windows.
What improvements did UV do with auto research loops, I wasn't aware of that.

No they aren't - at least not anymore than any other cross platform focused program - and we're not here to bike shed about modern software.
In fact they're pretty solid.
I had more examples that you've yet to refute or even acknowledge. AI isn't inherently bad just like money isn't inherently evil. You're also allowed to not like something just cuz w/o a logical reason. I just don't have to agree with you.
