Good for them. IMO they should ditch the editor though. I see no reason that they should tie themselves to one editor. It seems like a waste of time. If Claude code let me use me subscription I'd be off cursor pretty quick.

  > Makes it an easier sell to devs, "you don't have to 'change' editors" and it makes setup easier if you happen to be using VSC But tying it to an editor (including VSCode) means "you have to change editors". I don't use VSCode, so any solution requiring it is a no-go. When we have aider[1], which works with any editor/IDE, I just don't see the value in trying Cursor, et al.

    The value for me in cursor is the tab feature not the chat. I use the chat to generate code maybe once per week but the tab autocompleting saves me probably 30 minutes per day.

  I would argue that Claude code is easier to set up. Not sure about selling though.

Asking a programmer to ditch their editor is just wild. A lot of this thread seems to be full of non-programmers trying to figure out why Cursor exists lmao

Please do not ditch the editor! Cursor's integrated IDE with easy changes I can read is the whole reason I like it the best!

Cursor editor autocomplete (cursor tab) is the one feature I use constantly. Everything else is more selective for my type of work.

  I go the other way. The subscription and the agent are the main draws for me. Everything else I do outside of Cursor.
