Cursor is obviously a fad (unlike Copilot - I'm not at all an AI hater, quite the opposite) and perhaps Google needs to present something to shareholders that will pretend to be competing.
None of that matters for actual development work.
- crazygringo 11mo agoWell, just so you know, there are lots of us who think Cursor is not a fad, and see that Google realizes this as well, and is genuinely competing with it. A lot of people find it's actually quite valuable for "actual development work". If you want to ignore all that, then I guess go ahead. But just know that what you're claiming is "obvious", is clearly not. There seems to be large disagreement over it, so it is objectively not obvious, but rather quite debatable.
- egorfine 11mo agoIsn't it great that in this case we don't have to fight because the judgment of history will reveal itself quite soon on that matter, right? :-)
- crazygringo 11mo agoI wish I could save this comment in a way that we would both come back to it in 10 years ;)

- meowface 11mo agoCursor is very obviously not a fad (Copilot I'd say actually is!), nor are any of the Cursor clones/competitors. Of course it matters very much for actual development work. I feel like everything you're writing in this sub-thread is essentially the opposite of what exists in reality.
