The happy path way of getting code out of Codex is a PR. This is emphatically not true for Cursor.

  Feels like a sort of pollution.

    Why? That is its intent - unlike an IDE, it is intended to work autonomously and only get back to you after it has prepared the full changeset - which at that point you'd review via a PR. Where's the pollution in that?

      The hundreds of thousands of commits?

        Commits are pollution? Are you concerned that we'll run out of SHA-1 digests?

I didn't even realize Cursor could make PRs. I thought most people would create PRs themselves once they were happy with a series of commits.

  At least you know that Codex knows how to advertise itself, if nothing else.

This is only comparing _agents_, which is going to exclude pretty much all Cursor usage for two reasons: * Cursor agents where just introduced in Beta and have privacy limitations that prevent their usage as many organizations. * Cursor is still focused on hands-on-keyboard agentic flows, which aren't included in these counts.
