The anti-Cursor sentiment here is baffling to me given how useful it is to me. I use it interactively and actively review everything it produces. I like how I can plan a feature and refine the plan before instructing the agent to implement it. Last I checked, vscode had none of those features. Do (seemingly most) people prefer Codex because it gives a greater degree of autonomy to the agents?
My employer pays for Cursor and Claude but not Codex. I often find Claude dumb (yes, even Opus), thus I'm using Cursor with GPT-5.4. If you have Codex, you don't miss anything.
and I'm being completely neutral and objective in saying this: Elon Musk has been a horrible capital allocator but great at financial engineering. X is still struggling to win back advertisers (they will never come back) and still in the red. I have little reason to believe this is also another careful and shrewd financial decision.
He spun that story into "he was saving democracy" so it sounds like he paid for that reason. He will do the same here, he never does a wrong move you just can't see the 76D chess.
Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Even though I personally use Cursor, there’s no way it’s even a fraction of $60B
Why do you use it? Genuine question, I want to know what I'm missing.
I guess I don't really understand what it buys you over just running vanilla VS Code and Codex.

I use the cursor cli, not the IDE. Why? Someone else is paying for it.
It's 100% a fraction of $60B. That's not debatable it's just simply fact.
I dunno it seems pretty irrational to me.

The question is what's the denominator.

Let’s buyback my friends who invested in that thing and they will help pump my IPO

I mean, technically they also re-sell AI tokens. Unsure if that’s with a markup or a discount.
