My experience has been the opposite, I found cursor to be an improvement over comparable tools such as aider. I was able to write a plugin for ComfyUI (a 60k loc python/js codebase) in 2 hours thanks to semantic search. It's not an exercise I'm versed in. It wasn't that different from the kind of internal monologue I'd have held in my head had I done it on my own, including misguided confidence that gets crushed 5 minutes later as you read other parts of the code that show you had the wrong understanding of how it actually works. In this context, LLMs can be very useful because a ground truth already exists to compare their replies against.
