IMO it's a strategic misstep to try and create their own IDE with a fork of VS Code. I'm only going to consider AI Tools that integrate with my IDEs (primarily VS Code + Rider) as such my AI weapons of choice are now: augmentcode.com (fave), GitHub Copilot, Gemini Code Assist and now Claude Code now that I can use it with my pro plan.
- slig 1y agoCursor—the fastest-growing AI code editor in the world, reaching $300 million in annual recurring revenue just two years after its launch
- joshstrange 1y agoRevenue is far from the whole story. What is their _profit_? If you sell $1.00 USD for $0.90 you can get nearly unlimited revenue (until you run out of cash).
- ZeroTalent 1y agoRevenue/users/employees are all that matters cause they will get bought for $20B by one of the M7 or another AI company this year likely.
- input_sh 1y agoThat tells you nothing about their operating expenses (I'd bet they're operating in the red), and if you divide that by their cheapest available plan, that's at most 1.5 million paying users (probably way less).
- mythz 1y agoYep it's off to a great start with its early mover advantage but IMO their days on top are numbered with every major player behind the premier coding models (and major IDE vendors) iterating hard on their own integrated AI coding agents, after which I suspect Cursor's choice for using a proprietary IDE is going to look dated.
- gondo 1y agoAugmentCode is really good. It has mostly replaced my coding for the past 2 weeks. I am "reduced" to prompting, reviewing, and re-prompting. And I can do this in parallel, working on 2-3 tasks at the same time (using GoLand, AndroidStudio and JetBrains). As long as I can context switch and keep the context in my head.
- benoittravers 1y agoWhich plan are you on with Augment?
- mythz 1y agoJust the Developer plan, haven't hit its limit yet.
