Just trying to help explain the issues you've been hitting, not to negate your experience.
First, you might've been using a model like Sonnet 3.7, whose knowledge cutoff doesn't include Tailwind 4.0. The model should know a lot about the tech stack you mentioned, but it might not know the latest major revisions if they were very recent. If that is the case (you used an older model), then you should have better luck with a model like Sonnet 4 / Opus 4 (or by providing the relevant updated docs in the chat).
Second, Cursor is arguably not the top tier hotness anymore. Since it's flat-rate subscription based, the default mode of it will have to be pretty thrifty with the tokens it uses. I've heard (I don't use Cursor) in Cursor Max Mode[0] improves on that (where you pay based on tokens used), but I'd recommend just using something like Claude Code[1], ideally with its VS Code or IntelliJ integration.
But in general, new major versions of sdk's or libraries will cause you a worse experience. Stable software fares much better.
Overall, I find AI extremely useful, but it's hard to know which tools and even ways of using these tools are the current state-of-the-art without being immersed into the ecosystem. And those are changing pretty frequently. There's also a ton of over-the-top overhyped marketing of course.
