Don't underestimate how much effort it takes to apply a technique (LLMs) to a certain domain.
Creating a good user interface, processing the code into appropriate embeddings for useful matching, and marketing are just three things that take a lot of effort to get right.
The fragmented landscape of alternatives is not attractive at all.
One thing I'm quite worried about, though, is that Cursor is a fork of VS Code. This will never be maintainable in the long run, in particular if Microsoft does not want them to continue.
