#102I kind of want to try it, to see if and how far they can take an open model and improve it but I really don’t miss the Cursor user experience. Constant UI changes, half-baked features, smaller and smaller limits, useless AI change attribution; I think I’ll wait for others to report if it’s any good.
Yeah I have a soft spot for Cursor because it was my first tool that unlocked huge productivity with AI, but I avoid doing anything there now.
Should try their CLI!

#103I think anybody will be much better by acquiring a coding plan from Kimi.com and using Kimi K2.6, with whatever harness they like, including Claude Code, instead of paying more for Cursor's version of Kimi K2.5.

Noticed recently they keep opening their “Agents” window when the project was last opened in the VSCode fork window in the hopes I’ll just continue working in that when the UI is totally different and missing things I need.
For a professional tool it’s getting egregious how little respect they have for my workflows and flow state they way they keep moving, changing iconography and flipping switches of the UI.
It’s clearly being ran by someone who comes from a social app or sales app growth hacking background.

#107I hope people soon wake up to the fact that they use user data for model fine tuning.

You could say they have a sort of anti-moat (drawbridge?) since you can use their product to create a competitor. But that's true of most dev tools, in a sense.

Isn't there a cli version of cursor by now?
It's a bit better than the VSCode fork, but still much worse than competition:
- lags constantly,
- if you type while it's generating you'll get missed inputs,
- 'plan mode' doesn't clear context before starting work,
- you can't directly edit the plan, you can only ask the bot to do it,
- you can't immediately whitelist commands, only accept once or allow all.

#110Kudos to the team. Please consider making the model available via API!
