“Long-time admirer of the Cursor team, few have done more to bring AI coding to the world.”

“https://www.harness-bench.ai/leaderboard.htmlThis provides a method, but the data looks stale and perhaps a bit thin compared to say, Cursor, or even AntiGravity data.”

“I'm happy with Grok and Composer in Cursor. If Cursor wants to add more models, they should host more open models.”
gexla · hn ·
“The first party cursor models (initially composer and now grok-cursor) and price very competitively for their quality and have very generous usage limits included in the base plans, and then per token pricing afterwards.”
charrondev · hn ·
“Wow, I don’t use cursor but that seems pretty bad for them.Is there a way to work around this (like using your OpenAI limits directly?)”
demibabs · hn ·
“The nice part about Cursor to me is you can write your own specs, have the ai maintain it and write their own plans, and see it all right in front of you.”

“If you want your usage to last, stick to Grok 4.6 and Composer 2.5, and turn fast mode OFF.”

“Looking forward to trying out Cursor, oh btw I have the $60 plan”

“if you switched from {claude code, cursor, devin, codex, ...} to amp:”
sqs · x ·
“I've started running two Cursor agents on the same repo, one on a feature, one cleaning up an old module. It works fine until they touch the same file.”
Specialist_Agent3599 · reddit ·
“You can just ship new apps with Cursor!”
aryamankhawow · x ·
“First it was ChatGPT. Then Claude. Then Cursor. Then Claude Code. Then Gemini. Then Codex. Then a bunch of indies. Then Claude still. Now Grok and Cursor's back.”
CasJam · x ·
“However I never used grok and cursor for last 2 3 months.”
Cultural-Egg-7917 · reddit ·
“I’ve used Grok 4.6 on Cursor, and it feels almost unlimited at the moment. That too on a $20 sub! It’s a good model for regular day-to-day use, which is how the majority of people use AI at work.”
Wyckoff-XD · reddit ·
“I am embarrassed to ship cursor code, it works but is not reusable for a human, gpt is acceptable to reuse.”
cudmore · reddit ·
“In this video, I'm trying @plannotator for reviewing the code written by Cursor Composer even before doing the git commit/PR.”
PovilasKorop · x ·
“Then there was the discovery that all sorts of undesirable files were being uploaded to servers for grok which casts a shadow on cursor too.”
miemoo · reddit ·
“Cursor is just a harness startup. I think getting bought out by spacex is a good play.”
syunz · reddit ·
“Who needs a meat proxy when a Cursor agent can commit directly and open PRs in your codebase 🤣😭”
karomancer · x ·
“Cursor just moved the bottleneck to App Store review. I automated metadata uploads and build number syncing so CI handles everything outside the repo”
Double_Zombie7673 · reddit ·
“Cursor stays quiet because real users ship code instead of posting reviews. Mainstream channels cover products that pay for placement or generate engagement metrics”
Ambitious-Height9588 · reddit ·
“I'd say Cursor is my top pick compared to the others. I use Cursor with the Composer model, and it really does what I need with very minimal post-adjustment. This is especially true when I compare it to other AI agents and tools.”
newton-classic-coder · reddit ·
“Cursor can now host your code. Cursor Origin is a Git forge with repositories, pull requests, agents, automations, GitHub mirroring, a CLI, and an API.”
flaviocopes · x ·
“I use the Claude code extension in VS Code. It’s basically cursor.”
tKonig · reddit ·
“Cursor UI is better, especially if you are still actually coding yourself. Claude code is the better harness.”
rrrenz · reddit ·
“Cursor feels like AI inside my editor. Claude Code feels like AI as a weird junior dev I have to manage from the terminal.”
Few-Garlic2725 · reddit ·
“In my opinion, cursor is better for programming because when it responds, it shows a list of changed files and lines of code, allowing you to review, revert, or accept each line or file individually.”
mincoder1307 · reddit ·
“Cursor is alright.”
ChildishSimba · reddit ·
“Which is best for coding & building apps: Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor?”
Mental-Union4473 · reddit ·
“I have loved the platform so far and they have been responsive to bug reports, etc.”
iamTWOcats · reddit ·
“I use all 3 all inside Cursor. Codex sidebar, 2-3 Claude terminals. The issues happen everywhere”
TheOdbball · reddit ·
“Can't edit: Looks like they edited this page after the fact[1]: It directly said:> Continuity (cnt for short) is the git storage system [...]I guess someone realized that turned this into even more of a joke than it already is.[1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20260818210312/https://cursor.co...”

“Cursor has been pretty smooth with no major bugs so far. I haven't tried codex yet but hopefully will be able to compare eventually!”
Haxortech · reddit ·
“if you want another cursor-shaped editor, zed is the usual answer.”
kitenitekitenite · reddit ·
“This even fixed the issue of the agent window opening twice when i launch cursor.”
1nsaint · reddit ·
“Then use Cursor or Claude Code for the complex logic. Antigravity might not have been the problem—maybe your workflow setup is.”
DirectAdvertising744 · reddit ·
“I had so many bugs in the last couple of weeks on the daily level, that it feels like Cursor is not being tested very well (I hope they don't vibe-code parts of it). It's frustrating to use.”
captainofsomething · reddit ·
“Cursor is great until you hit that fast request cap halfway through the month and your momentum completely dies. I ended up switching my main workflow to Freebuff to take advantage of their 3+ daily free premium hours instead.”
WesternStretch8581 · reddit ·
“Personally, cursor is really good of prompt have the right context with appropriate files.”
wynne_wolf · reddit ·
“I don't know, but I burn $20 cursor plan in 3-4 prompts...”
EagleApprehensive · reddit ·
“Cursor is an AIO solution. Usage is great and Id say it’s definitely worth it”
StevenCurly · reddit ·
“Cursor feels polished but the agent mode still does weird stuff sometimes, like refactoring files I never asked it to touch. Haven't used codex enough to have a strong take on it.”
Grouchy_Extension766 · reddit ·
“ClaudeCode vs cursor vs codex”
Reasonable-Way2870 · reddit ·
“this is all for the cursor IDE. cursor web obviously won't show old transcripts.”
Interesting_Bet8848 · reddit ·
“Cursor is finished in my eyes, once they merged with XAI which is merged with SpaceX which will be merged with Tesla soon they lost their USP.”
MrFourShottt · reddit ·
“People don’t realize how rampant AI fraud is. I think the team that built Cursor knows how to map a GUID to an email if they wanted to.”
bored_man_child · reddit ·
“But yet, I always come back to Cursor, I just really like it, feels good for me and has great co text management out of the box. Shame it doesn’t always work well with local models.”
Real_Ebb_7417 · reddit ·
“Honest question. Is cursor considered an IDE or a harness.”
blackbeardrrr · reddit ·
“What actually annoyed was Cursor buying up Supermaven locking it to their IDE, I cant even pay for them to use it in my editor.”
Theboyscampus · reddit ·
“i still work with a small number of agents at a time, but primarily switched to run things with cloud agents + cursor ios when im not working from home. also don’t have to deal with worktrees locally is a huge plus.”
