Shirc · reddit ·
“I tried it when it got forced on me, but it kept being broken in some way in all my projects. If Cursor wants to make me use alpha software, I'm not down.”

“Cursor is the IDE plus a Claude seat. Claude Code is a terminal agent that can sit on a repo without the IDE. I use both when I want the agent in a pane the editor does not own.”

“Elon being a douche is enough reason to avoid Cursor”
vxxn · reddit ·

“The problem is that Musk acquired Cursor and therefore Cursor has zero credibility.I don't care about what they say because of who they sold out to”
ljm · hn ·
“Cursor's entire schtick is providing AI coding tools. I'll give you one guess as to what they probably used for the diagrams.”
LorenDB · hn ·
“This is a really well written article and definitely changes my perception about Cursor's capability to host a reliable Github replacement. But I could never bring myself to use it because of whose leadership they're under now.”

bluerooibos · hn ·

“Interesting, wonder how Cursor will scale with Git with this approach.”
aghuang · hn ·
“I also don't use Cursor (I think most people have moved on to Claude Code/Codex), so also not helpful from that point of view. Regardless, not only do I find it morally wrong to give Musk money, I think it's a bad business idea.”
newspaper1 · hn ·
“Cursor's agent lives inside Cursor, so anything you want to automate around it has to be something Cursor exposed on purpose.”
Potential-Beat2841 · reddit ·
“But, setting that aside, how would creating a custom worktree skill solve my other problem -- grouping chats by worktree in the Cursor UI? And what do you mean "have it used by default on all your other skills"?”
rogersmj · reddit ·
“Continuity system of Cursor. Brilliant name, just like the octo"cat"!”
1qwdq · hn ·
“The thing that does not port to Cursor is composability: Claude Code is a CLI, so you can script it, pipe it, and run twenty headless in parallel as build steps, whereas inside an editor you are always somewhat inside the editor's model of a session.”
