#3Genuinely an S-tier move by Github / MSFT. Cursor didn't really work out for me and I've been happily using using Claude projects for most of my prototyping. I'm hoping I can use it directly in VS Code without pay-as-you-go pricing or a Claude API key.
Copilot has been so-so in my experience but I still use it very often to infer Typescript types automatically (the VS Code Cmd + I shortcut is excellent!).

Anecdotally, I've stopped using OpenAI entirely for coding activities in preference for Claude due to the _vastly_ improved performance on my coding tasks. This was before the recent update to Claude and I haven't gotten a feel for how the new version is doing.
Also entirely anecdotally, the newer multi-modal features added to the OpenAI models have _seemed_ to significantly degrade its other capabilities especially coding in languages other than Python and TypeScript and _seems_ to be more repetitive in its answers (likely to get stuck repeating the same incorrect information even after a correction). This could absolutely be a sampling or task bias so your mileage may vary.
I've still found Github Copilot to be useful for VERY SHORT look-ahead/completion but it has almost always assumed too much in the very wrong direction for more than about a line. I haven't tried the Claude version of Copilot but I'm absolutely switching over to it.

What were your experiences with Cursor? I was thinking of switching but didn't see the point.

It's hard to explain but over the last couple of months I have an intuitive sense of when Claude (the web version) starts to lose context over a problem. Over there it's as simple as starting a new chat and building on top of that.
To me, it felt like Cursor blurred that line too much for my liking. The way I use LLMs is by giving it atomic, independant chunks of code that I need to review / refactor which, in my experience, leads to far superior output. I'm sure there's some way to make it work with Cursor but it just didn't click for me.
