“Cursor has the strongest combination of agent harness, IDE integration, model choice and repo-level iteration. Grok 4.6 is explicitly optimised for long-running coding/agentic workloads and is baked into Cursor better than any model (Composer).”
“From time to time, I try switching back to VS Code as my main code editor (yes, I still write code by hand sometimes). But I always end up back in Cursor.”
“Am I crazy for thinking this is unacceptable? Why should I accept that 50% of my monthly usage quota is just gone now due to bugs that have nothing to do with me?”
“When I stsrted using cursor 1 year ago. I was fucking awesome. Then it seemed like it was slowly downgrading over time? I have enjoyed Claude so far.”
“OpenAI ended their contract with Cursor, and we'll never see new gpt models there. Anthropic models have gotten way too expensive to be used outside of Claude.”
“Bro you sold the company to elon so of course a ton of people are going to leave, look at twitter, the only thing that is left on twitter is grok bots talking to themselves.”
“Cursor's beforeShellExecution hook gets the command text before it runs, so the hook can return deny when the command starts with powershell, pwsh or cmd, or contains rmdir /s or Remove-Item -Recurse, or names a path outside the workspace and %TEMP%.”
“We use Party to hop between Claude Code + Bedrock and Cursor to max our credits (YC startup) then fallback to Codex when those are exhausted for the month”
“I've found Grok to be so much more powerful than Composer, especially for longer contexts, that it's been come my default Cursor model. Do you have any examples of why you think it's misaligned?”
“I canceled my personal Cursor today. I’ve recently moved my team to Claude. Will reevaluate again next year but Claude is just better at following directions than Grok and Composer and the new direction of Cursor has been less than ideal.”
“Hey everyone, Composer 2.5 was an incredible price-to-performance coding model. But after SpaceX acquired the company, they shifted their focus toward Grok and seemingly stopped developing this excellent coding model.”
“Cursor Agent ran `rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\<me>"` on my Windows profile — twice — during a "temp cleanup" I never asked for. Here is the exact line from the transcript.”
“its some bs company policy, they want all the plans to be under a single place so its easy for them to manage and all,ive been hearing a lot of great stuff from cursor lately especially stuff like cloud agents,grokbot and this new project feature,so will give this a try,thanks :)”
“What I do like from cursor is the possibility to select from a large amount of different models. And my experience is that the tip tier models from codex and Claude behave differently via cursor then if working with them directly.”
“I think Cursor's a solid choice - it's a great user experience, and solid for teams that prefer IDE's or manipulating code. As far as token value per engineer, I think the Premium seats on Claude/Codex will give you much higher token spend per engineer; especially the premium models.”
“The reason I prefer Cursor though is because the Grok models are amazing, so you can totally rely on them for most tasks and they're in the first party pool. One thing to note is that OpenAI will no longer be providing it's models on Cursor due to some beef idc about, so if GPT models are important for you, that is a thing to consider.”
“If Cursor gets dragged into this mess, I’ll be very unhappy. Meanwhile OpenCode, OpenRouter, and Hermes are spinning in the background waiting to take the lead.”
“Hinestly compared to Anthropic who basically didnt give a sht about us and justtold us to take the price and the api key cursor peopleput a lot of effort in. They offer training, give discounts …. For free.”
