Cursor’s model of select text -> cmd+k -> type instructions -> enter makes it quite versatile and useful for lower level transformations that I’m previously use vim regex find/replace to do. It’s also great for pretty formatting table layouts strings and such; kind of stylistic changes that not even regex helps with. Those use cases it gets right all the time, but they aren’t worth doing if it involves several steps copy-pasting code from your editor to the LLM app/page, so that’s why Cursor really shines.
