a lot of companies I know are cancelling Cursor in favor of Claude Code or Codex

because they already have VSCode or IntelliJ for edits

A lot of enterprises were doing that but now they hit the 150 user limit on Claude and are paying seat+api rates.

Codex is still going strong but it’s hard to imagine they won’t do similar eventually.

So now im honestly hearing a lot more folk stick it out with cursor while waiting for the dust to settle.

    A lot of enterprises use Github Copilot which has per-request pricing model which effectively means unlimited tokens which eliminates this issue.

yeah i just canceled my cursor sub and switched back to vscode. work pays for my claude max sub, no point paying for cursor anymore when i can just use openrouter every few months to test other models if i want

I did that then I switched back to Cursor after Claude kept running out immediately. Now I pay for both.

Cursor also has a very nice integrated DX that I miss in Claude's VSCode plugin.

I'm seeing the same thing, probably all will land in a combination of Antigravity Inbox experience, Devin and some OpenClaw omnipresence style UX.

I mean the best argument I see for cursor is that you can easily switch between AIs, which is convenient since they seem to run at 80-90% up time (with those 10-20% clustered at West coast working hours). But the big AI companies are likely to keep an edge over Open-source fine-tunes and they are able to subsidize the coding agents in a way Cursor can't.
