I love cursor. It's so frustrating that large companies are allowed to buy everything. Think of a world where github was still independent, cursor remained independent, heroku wasn't part of Salesforce. All great products that get eroded by the neglect of big tech.
- silentsea90 4mo agotbf, irobot being independent killed them. Sometimes it works well for these companies that would otherwise die. I strongly doubt cursor would survive against anthropic in 5-10 years.
- digitaltrees 4mo agoI don’t think iRobot died because they were independent. I think it’s more a symptom of them stopping R&D investment because they were pushed to distribute cash.
- henry2023 4mo agoThe good thing is that cursor has no network effects. you could make your own (barely usable) cursor on top of vs in a weekend with the features you want.
- digitaltrees 4mo agoI actually did that. Not on top of vs code because I wanted it on my phone. But now I have my own mobile IDE. It’s amazing
