I do a ridiculous amount of dumb shit with cursor without paying extra for it and I can't be the only one. There is just no way they will ever make a profit with their current all-you-can-eat model. Like there have been times I have just copy and pasted code into a cursor window for the AI to add when I could have just pasted it myself just because it makes the context easier to deal with.
However, they will eventually get purchased by an AI company because the _product_ is great.

For me, Cursor was one of the least-effective solutions of the many options (from Cursor and other AIDEs, to repo-centric web-based options like Jules, to CLI-based options like Claude Code) I evaluated a few months ago.
- skeaker 1y agoDid you keep a list of how each solution ranked? I'd be curious to see it (genuinely).
- damon_c 1y agoYou are not the only one. "Revert the changes to <file>..." 4 zillion tokens... 10 seconds... Instead of > git checkout <file> just to keep Cursor in the loop. I assume I have probably eaten up my $20/month in tokens just on stuff like that.
- verdverm 1y agoAt least in Copilot, the revert changes is more like undo/redo of a series of changes. Often I want to keep all of the changes except for the most recent one git checkout would destroy this (and "corrupts" the Copilot session state)
- thinkingtoilet 1y agoBelieve it or not, you can use Cursor and type in git checkout yourself. It's pretty wild.
