a lot of companies I know are cancelling Cursor in favor of Claude Code or Codex because they already have VSCode or IntelliJ for edits

I mean the best argument I see for cursor is that you can easily switch between AIs, which is convenient since they seem to run at 80-90% up time (with those 10-20% clustered at West coast working hours). But the big AI companies are likely to keep an edge over Open-source fine-tunes and they are able to subsidize the coding agents in a way Cursor can't.

A lot of enterprises were doing that but now they hit the 150 user limit on Claude and are paying seat+api rates. Codex is still going strong but it’s hard to imagine they won’t do similar eventually. So now im honestly hearing a lot more folk stick it out with cursor while waiting for the dust to settle.

    This isn't true anymore.. GitHub are rate limiting people on pro and pro+ pretty hard

      I'm talking about per-request model remember? With extensive prompt you realistically can have one request every 10 minutes because the agent will be busy for at least 10 minutes executing it. They aren't rate limiting that.

        Each tool call requires a new request no? The harness receives a response, has to parse out the tool call, execute it and then start a new request with the tool call result.

    Github Copilot changed to token pricing earlier this week

yeah i just canceled my cursor sub and switched back to vscode. work pays for my claude max sub, no point paying for cursor anymore when i can just use openrouter every few months to test other models if i want

I did that then I switched back to Cursor after Claude kept running out immediately. Now I pay for both. Cursor also has a very nice integrated DX that I miss in Claude's VSCode plugin.

I'm seeing the same thing, probably all will land in a combination of Antigravity Inbox experience, Devin and some OpenClaw omnipresence style UX.
