> Maybe it just works well for specific types of web development, but I came away thoroughly unimpressed and suspicious that some of the “word of mouth” stuff on them is actually funded by them.

You can pretty easily disprove this theory by noting the number of extremely well-known, veteran software developers who claim that Cursor (or other kinds of LLM-based coding assistants) are working for them.

Very doubtful any one of them can be bought off, but certainly not all of them.
