A minor counterpoint, I personally like the "open source Xyz" because I instantly know what the product is supposed to do. It's also very SEO friendly because you don't know the name of the open source version before you find it, so you can Kagi/Google/DDG "open source Cursor" and get it as a top result, instead of a sea of spammy slime.

But that assumes that you're already familiar with the non-open-source software referenced. I've never used Cursor so I have no idea what it can or can't do. I'm pretty sure I would never have discovered Inkscape if it had consistently been described as an “open-source Illustrator” as I've simply never used Adobe software.
