It kind of is - when I looked at it 6 months ago it was just a fork of vscode with old ass versions of Claude and the only unique things were java and ibm I mcp clients or servers or something built in. For those works I'd rather just have the skill or mcp for my harness of choice. I think they weren't allowed to use external AI so they run the models in house and remade cursor. Not bad to have competition but the name is awful - as others have said it's been used before by Microsoft in the 90s to make a friendly desktop giving us the winxp search dog and clippy.
After the company rebranded itself to Lenovo, it merged with IBM's PC business which produced its ThinkPad line in 2005, after which it rapidly expanded abroad. In 2013, Lenovo became the world's largest personal computer vendor by unit sales for the first time, a position it still holds as of 2024.

yet hp exist after decades, just a terrible printer corp going long term is insane really
They're the 2nd biggest PC manufacturer in the world. Sell more computers than Dell, Apple, etc.
Only beaten by Lenovo.
and Lenovo is itself an IBM spinoff.

HP was never just a printer corp. ;-)
The fun parts of HP split off years ago into Agilent, Keysight, and HPE. Current HP is just a printer and office PC corp.

HP is long gone. What's left is just a printer and PC company that didn't bother to change the sign on the building.
It's as if I bought an old telephone exchange building and called it Bell Labs.

I suspect their enterprise computer business creates more revenue than printers.
Printers are just a loss leader for toner.
