Cursor requires you to use their specific IDE though, doesn't it? With Copilot I don't have to switch contexts as it lives in my Jetbrains IDE.

It's just vscode. I greatly prefer vim but the difference between vim + ai tools and cursor is just a no brainer in terms of productivity. Cursor isn't without problems but it's leagues ahead of the competition in my opinion.
I've been tempted to try Cursor because of vocal fans like yourself. Then I went to their website and forums yesterday. I am no longer tempted.
Can you say more?

It is worth trying.
It is just a fashion choice though with UI.
Personally, I just prefer the chat interface directly with no Cursor UI.
For me, the best way is to write my prompt in a txt file, away from anything to do with LLMs. The bottleneck is not the update of the files like Cursor is good at.
The bottleneck is the clarity of my thoughts.
I looked at your website.
How to get past Barry Schwartz ideas is the main problem that we face in 2025.
The Godel, Escher, Bach stuff to me is just nonsense. As a huge Bach fan boy it is from when Bach was massively overrated in cultural importance.
Hierarchy Theory? How about O-information?
Doesn't seem the O-information wiki entry exists, yet.
Because of the complaints? If so, yeah I get it. I'm there amongst them. It's kind of like Tesla FSD. There are often setbacks in releases and they definitely need to work on their communication with the community. That said, for the current price it's still worth any misgivings.
