“After trying the hype of cursor and antigravity, I've found myself back in plain VScode. It starts up much faster and just works.”
NeuromindArt · reddit ·
“I run Codex on a VPS and have Cursor pick up jobs from it. Open Claw is dead weight sitting between the agent and the editor.”
gilded_echoes_04 · reddit ·
“I've built a game and launched it recently loved my experience with cursor. The only issue is auto isn't allowed interactive questions for plans.”
SehajSoftworks · reddit ·
“If you're stuck with Cursor like I am (work license), I just had it build a framework and UI for me so I can use the Cursor CLI for everything.”

“II’m not really using Cursor anymore. Around 99% of the code produced on my machine is now created by a team of agents coordinated by an orchestrator, and the speed is pretty crazy.”

“Cursor is trying to lock you in. Grok is good but they are trying to force you into fast don't show tokens per second no compaction control.”
OddDesigner9784 · reddit ·

Southern-Ad-3006 · reddit ·
“For a personal project I made a Swift disassembler for NewWorld Mac OS ROMs (9.2.1) with Cursor. I used Grok to plan it, and Composer to write it.”
bcavalieri · reddit ·
“Cursor usage on first-party models is generous. I just don't know what the issue was lately; I'll try again and see.”
Cold_Cauliflower_230 · reddit ·
“I tried couple of them then like conductor , superset , orca , t3 code .. etc none was close to cursor so i ended up building my own ade where i use my codex and claude subscription”
Connect_Source5735 · reddit ·
“Cursor is acting up more and more. Model selections aren't being saved, the underlying VS Code is ancient, and many plugins are starting to stop working with the IDE.”
Prestigious_Floor_50 · reddit ·
“while using the antigravity, cursor it was different, bro is still believing delusion thing in the single session still weak at building the production grade monorepo/turporepo architectures.”

“I’m a non-technical founder building a production app mainly with Cursor Agent mode.”
TheCoolBT · reddit ·

tomatta · reddit ·
“I'm not a full time SWE, so far $20 plan has been more than enough. However, there few moments I wish I had more than $20 api pool to use 3rd party models.”
DeCiel · reddit ·
“between skills and subagents and agents.md I now spend a lot of time writing markdown files, but I didnt like any of the current in-ide options, so I made dotmd, an obsidian-like markdown editor vscode/cursor extension you can call from the command palette with nice defaults”

“Cursor is expensive too if you use models other than their own.”
floridianfisher · reddit ·
“Great workflow really.”
sicospecialist · reddit ·
“But, it's damn fast and honestly less errors in code. I've been using Claude for a long time and so far all issues I've ever worked on would require several hours of Codebot comment fixes in one pr.”
New_Public_2828 · reddit ·
“I quit this morning. I bit the bullet and paid for the claude pro max etc plan as they give a big multiplier on compute. It was expensive but ultimately cheaper both financially and from an opportunity cost perspective compared to using cursor.”
blubrry-pie · reddit ·
“Cursor and grok are deploying the most compute on earth over the next ten years, safest bet to stick with them by a mile so far.”
AsteroidMinerChamp · reddit ·
“Agent-first is the product now. The reopen-last-used setting helps until the next update “forgets” again. Annoying as hell, but fighting the UI is a losing war.”
partypooperx · reddit ·
“It was cursor up until now for me.”
erdiizgi · reddit ·
“I only used Cursor but let me recommend you that you use Plan Mode with Opus and implement with Composer (or Grok).”
D7Torres · reddit ·
“**I built my first desktop app with Cursor — and it actually works**”
musomo-design · reddit ·
“I just had Cursor Grok 4.6 extra high takeover for Sol Extra today because Sol kept effing up and 4.6 rocked it like a champ. Not even joking.”
Thrwawy-User · reddit ·
“Hoje realmente o cursor deixou a desejar até no suporte não deram a devida atenção, parou de funcionar o grok e composer e nem um aviso de que estariam em manutenção ou algo do tipo tive que ir no submundo para entender o que estava acontecendo!”
Select-Competition85 · reddit ·
“Nothing would go through for an hour or 2. And if it did it was super slow.”
Wrapzii · reddit ·
“Haven’t opened the Cursor IDE in two weeks. Cloud agents, baby!”
_jsolly · x ·
“I just use zed as my actual ide and keep the agent window at the side. Best of both worlds because zed is a vastly more pleasant editor. You do lose cursor tab tho”
Wonderful_Echo_1724 · reddit ·
“Keep Cursor for interactive sessions until you can point at a concrete monthly token bill that justifies the move.”
xapep · reddit ·
“If you are smart enough to get out of agent view, you are smart enough to cancel your subscription. Those are not the people Cursor wants as customers.”
ksblur · reddit ·
“Cursor is down today too actually”
PoopMuffin · reddit ·
“So is the rate limiting issue with Claude models from Cursor or Anthropic side?”
RadiantQuests · reddit ·
“has nothing to do with cursor. look at all the ai agents right now on down detector, grok, chatgpt, claude all having issues.”
Ok_Homework9525 · reddit ·
“Cursor just launched Origin, a code-hosting platform explicitly designed for “agent scale.””

“Cursor is not down yo. Using composer rn”
Administrative_Shake · reddit ·

FlashingBongos · reddit ·
“Claude, Codex, and Cursor are down, and I've got a huge deadline in an hour and need all my hand-written code reviewed. We have become too dependent on unreliable LLMs hosted by big-AI.”
sirlerkal0t · reddit ·
“Cursor's page has two open incidents. Anthropic models erroring, and a separate hit on agents and Grok. IDE is degraded too.”
Double_Ebb4130 · reddit ·
“Came here because ALL models across all instances in Cursor are giving this Rate Limited error. Also, Claude Opus is giving a Model Overload error.”
goobliedoobliedoo · reddit ·
“Yup, cursor is going down hill, problem after problem, bad update after bad update”
NanoCellMusic · reddit ·
“What are you guys specifically using Grok @bot for compared to Codex/Cursor/Claude Code?”
aaditsh · x ·
“Cursor lets you do custom completion sounds so I made it play the 20th century Fox theme song every time my agent is done. It's the beginning of a movie every time I rip code.”
iamjasonlevin · x ·
“Cursor's "VS Code IDE with AI agent integration" is the shittiest shit I've ever seen. I use Cursor in an Agent view next to true VS Code (not shitty one, without shitty redesign, unnecessary features, with ALL extensions I actually need)”
warmwelcome_ · reddit ·
“I haven’t run into any issues with the default mode since I started using Cursor.”
