Cursor is basically obsolete now. It was always going to become obsolete once standard VSCode extensions could do the exact same thing. Now there's like 4 first-party extensions which can basically do anything an AI asks for. Now, configuring basically any AI model takes minutes with Continue, and doesn't require installing a new program with sketchier licensing. If they make an IPO, it'll just be to get a cashout and let the suckers foot the bill.
Especially now that people are ~~being forced to use~~, sorry, moving toward agent interfaces rather than a VS Code env.
