“I keep Cursor as a read-only reviewer next to Codex so the two never see each other's output. Different model families have different blind spots, and I only concede a finding after Claude checks it against the repo.”
“Usage limit is a major advantage and as the models get better and cheaper they can ahead of the race because you have more chances of Building something to conclusion in one sitting than you would do in claude or codex.”
“i tried claude and i am surprised how good it is, comapred to cursor, but cursor grok 4.6 limits feels like i am cheating in life, i can't event spend them and the model is rock solid”
“From my expirence cursor has been the worst,compared to claude code and codex,as a pro plus user i genuinely don't know why people are still choosing cursor,is it because of the usage limit?”
“Use Parsec to stream the Cursor chat window directly to your Android device with low latency. It handles text input and scrolling better than generic remote desktop apps for this specific use case”
“Hey, I'm trying to connect to my Cursor chat AI agents window screen using my Android device. I'm constantly having to go to my MacBook to work on it, and I wanted to see if there's a way I can do it remotely?”
“I like Cursor because they have the UX figured out better than any of their competitors. Everything (agent mode, in IDE sidebar, cloud agents) is integrated and going between them is smooth and easy. There's no single big killer feature Cursor has, but they get so many smaller things right that it feels a lot more pleasant than the alternatives.”
“I don’t know man I don’t use cursor anymore, but as far as I know when using codex subscription is subsidized, while cursor directly use api, meaning if using sol which is superior model for me you would spend much more on cursor then on codex subscription.”
“I can confirm with Cursor I burn through usage if I specifically select Claude models. I normally leave it set to auto and it uses composer 2.5 a lot and does a pretty good job for what I need it for.”
“Cursor also gave me a $100 credit for Grok after 81% of my usage was on TP models. I don't think Grok 4.6 is quite at the level of Opus 5, but it's close and so much faster (and less chatty).”
“Quotas are very limited, for $20 plan you will only get $20 worth of tokens from third party models like claude and openai. As I mentioned before you do get more with composer and grok but they are not as geberous as the claude plans.”
“Now that Cursor is an AI lab, they are supposed to compete on their own models. It is completely normal for labs not to have their own models inside Cursor.”
“You’d use it because until recently Cursor had the best setup for cloud agents and visual verification and a bunch of other features outside of the harness.”
“Then I read that, and also review relevant pieces of code in Zed.I tried using Cursor, many of my colleagues use it, but stopped using it due to clunkiness. And of late, even in there, many of my colleagues use agentic coding.”
“When the code is good enough I throw it into a commit and push a PR out for other humans to review.Clicking around in a UI would just waste time and if the change is too large to review in a terminal window the change is too large for another human to review.”
“did you know that you can run cursor cloud agents on your own machines? for example you can setup a mac mini (that you no longer need thanks to Grok @Bot) as a worker, meaning you can verify your iOS apps in a simulator”
“I just hate how somehow, years after they bought Supermaven, there still isn't anyone offering Code Completion at the same level of quality as Cursor did well over a year ago.”
“I recently cancelled Cursor.The features you mention are in Antigravity IDE v1, which I am trying as I still have a Gemini subscription.No idea how long it will be around for, as Google Antigravity2 (more like Claude Code) is clearly the favoured way forward, plus the new Antigravity for VSCode Extension*, which I didn’t like as much when I tried it.”
“I found it a great tool - I actually liked Composer 2.5; but now being bought by SpaceX has for a while left a bad taste - and they keep pushing Grok and now GrokBot.I took the 50% discount instead of cancelling - but with this I'll likely not renew.So sad to watch them go from great to mediocre in such a short time.”
“But since two month or so I much prefer Codex and Cursor with the agent view.However, what I see cooking at Cursor is way more promising than the others. Things like full system understanding, their own forge, multi-repo support. I'd put them as way more visionary in the Gartner magic Quadrant ;)”
“For certain tasks I use Claude, which tends to be more expensive but sometimes saves me time.Using both OpenAI and Anthropic models, Cursor is cheaper than having two separate subscriptions, and their free tier of Composer is good enough. I will now have to reconsider my options.”
“You can still do agent mode shit, and as far as I know almost everything else, from within the cursor IDE. Claude code probably has a few special features, but I haven't needed them. Multiple sessions=multiple tabs.”
“Cursor is like one of the least economical ways to use Claude and OpenAI, virtually nobody does it. You use Cursor for their autocomplete/composer + grok.”
