Key phrase "They never actually claim this browser is working and functional " This is what most AI "successes" turn out to be when you apply even a modicum of scrutiny.

In my personal experience, Codex and Claude Code are definitively capable tools when used in certain ways.
What Cursor did with their blogpost seems intentionally and outright misleading, since I'm not able to even run the thing. With Codex/Claude Codex it's relatively easy to download it and run it to try for yourself.
"definitively capable tools when used in certain ways". This sounds like "if it doesn't work for you is because you don't use in the right way" imo.
Reminds me of SAAP/Salesforce.
Yes, many tools work like that, especially professional tools.
You think you can just fire up Ableton, Cubase or whatever and make as great music as a artist who done that for a long time? No, it requires practice and understanding. Every tool works like this, some different difficulties, some different skill levels, but all of them have it in some way.

Yes, because that's what it is. If you seriously can't get Gemini 3 or Opus 4.5 to work you're either using it wrong or coding on something extremely esoteric.

That's an almost universal truth that you need to learn how to use any non trivial tool.

They definitely can make some things better and you can do somethings faster, but all the efficiency is gonna get sucked up by companies trying to drop more slop.
No you see you just need to prompt it to implement functional and working code. You're just inexperienced and holding it wrong
$200/month tool (real cost could be $1000/month), but you have to babysit it.
Yes that's completely expected. Just like any other tool or service.
It's just like a chisel. Well the chisel company didn't promise to let you become a master craftsman overnight but anyway it's just like a chisel in that you have to learn how to use it. And people expect a chisel to actually chisel through wood out the box but anyway it's exactly like a chisel.
