Re: Cursor 1.7
#2I could be wrong about this, but it feels like Cursor is less and less compelling with better models and better CLI tools popping up. Are the plan limits generous enough that it's worth a spin?
Again, I haven't used Cursor in a while, I'm mostly posting this hoping for Cunningham's Law to take effect :)

#3Cursor was good for a little while until VSCode opened up the APIs for AI editing. Now Copilot is really good and other extensions (specifically Kilo Code) are doing things so much better!
I am seeing a lot of folks talking about maintaining a good "Agent Loop" for doing larger tasks. It seems like Kilo Code has figured it out completely for me. Using the Orchestrator mode I'm able to accomplish really big and complex tasks without having to design an agent loop or hand crafting context. It switches between modes and accomplishes the tasks. My AGENTS.md file is really minimal like "write test for changes and make small commits"

#4Why waste precious milliseconds typing complete sentences to your AI coding assistant? With autocomplete in the prompt box, we've solved the most pressing problem facing developers today: prompt fatigue.
Gone are the days of exhausting yourself by typing full requests like "refactor this function to use async/await." Now, simply type "refac—" and let our AI predict that you want an AI to refactor your code.
It's AI all the way down, baby.

#5None of my experiences with cursor lately would ever give me confidence for letting it do a task that took long enough for it to be backgrounded.
Caught Claude 4.5 via Cursor yesterday trying to set a password to “password” on an outward facing EC2 service.

Did something change with Kiro, or was I just using it wrong? I tried to have it make a simple MCP server based on docs, and it seriously spent 6 hours without making a basic MVP. It looked like the most impressive planner and executor while working, but it just made a mess.

#7Nice to see the image files being read without having to paste them and team rules. Cursor has been extremely helpful the last few months but increasingly more expensive. I spent almost 300 last month and had a lot of frustrating experiences so now I’m transitioning to Claude code in VS code.

Cursor is your best option if you want to switch models frequently, run multiple agents in parallel, and also have the best tab complete out there. And you're still getting extra vc-funded tokens. You get ~$40 worth of tokens at API costs for the $20 plan.
idk seems worth it to me. If youre shelling out on one of the $200 plans maybe its not as worth it, but it just seems like the best all in one ai product out there.

As everyone with half a brain predicted, their pricing was never meant to last. Their "limit" (base plan) is now just $20 in API credits, at slightly higher than provider token price. Sometimes they let you go a little over, but I'm not sure if that's still true.

I'm currently flying, and using Cursor. I have my model set to Sonnet-4, and it keeps bugging me that my usage is going to end on 10/21, 10/19, 10/13, 10/08, after just a couple hours of VERY slow LLM usage.
I wouldn't even bother with it, but my MCP coding tool I built uses Claud Desktop and is for windows only, and my laptop is MacOS. So I'm using Cursor, and it is WAY WORSE than my most simple of MCP servers (that literally just does dotnet commands, filesystem commands, and github commands).
I think having something that is so general like cursor causes the editor to try too many things that are outside what you actually want.
I fought for 2 hours and 45 minutes while Sonnet-4 (which is what my MCP uses) kept inventing worse ways to implement OpenAI Responses using the OpenAI-dotnet library. Even switching to GPT-5 didn't help. Adding the documentation didn't help. I went to claude in my browser, pasted the documentation, and my class I wanted extended to use Responses, and it finished it in 5 minutes.
The Cursor "special-sauce" seems to be a hinderance now-days. But beggars can't be choosers, as they say.
