Cursor: Choose to delete their bug
If youâre just here to argue, I donât have time to deal with you
Peace.
You know I wish all the propagation of this complaint culture would halt sometime, especially when herd mentality is clearly applicable in function of these forums, you can still use Agent or Editor mode and the levels of complacency needed to perpetuate a thread like this is just toxic to first encounter unopinionated people just browsing.
I love using this program and thatâs that. All the features I need are in it, and there is nothing out there like it, take regard to that for a second.

This is extremely important.. itâs a core feature
Letâs focus on a layered development approach.
The first comment in this long thread is correct⌠Aside from all the cheesy opinions you can have about your code, the sense of ownership is important because it means you know how your code works.
If you let AI do everything, the moment it gets something wrong, debugging is a nightmare. All the gains you previously got from letting the AI code are lost the moment you have to manually debug it.
There are many âtechniquesâ to diminish, but Iâm sure AI has the potential to make this a zero-case scenario.
Why not try a layered approach? Instead of fire prompting a code that does everything from endpoints to functions to logic, make the default layered (first code the functions, endpoints, etc, then stop and ask the user if that is the right direction), then go one level down rather than one-shot the whole implementation.
PLEASE bring back the ability to have agents view as its own separate window, just a setting to toggle that feature would be perfect.
Most of the time Iâm on two monitors and my workflow is to let the agents run on one screen while still doing stuff in the normal editor window on the other.

+1000 to this.
I want:
- The Agents window, where itâs easy to manage multiple agents all working at once
- The Editor window, where I can easily look at existing code, view diffs, run tests, etc
It is beyond infuriating to have seen Cursor actually ship this exact thing in a beta, only to remove it and leave us with this garbage tab-between option.

Having Agents and editor moved to the top left is far too intrusive. I just wasted an hour having the menu bar hidden, trying to remove this.
The truth is, if the cursor depended on the whining of this disunited and complaining community, it wouldnât have gotten where it is today. Congratulations on version 2.0 and congratulations to Composer, the skyâs the limit for you!

I actually must disagree with this. I have seen way too many good products, especially games, being ruined by listening too much the most loudest part of users. In the end, if users knew what they really wanted, they would have done the product themself. The developers and whole team knows better than users, but the key is to find team that can actually deliver (most donât).

My biggest issue is the adding of âAgents Editorâ to the top left menu bar. Muscle memory is crucial for any editor and I switch between projects frequently using the File menu, which is now third in line. Coders who like Cursor over other AI tools use it exactly because it lets them get at their code efficiently, so this feels like an affront intended or not.

Same cc @andrewh You need to add allowlist back to auto-run in a regular non-sandboxed mode

I donât really care if you think my feedback is genuine or constructive, I did not post it for you to find value in the first place. It was your decision to make the assumption that I am supposed to please you with my comments.
I have an hour-long transcript of both Cursor Claude and Claude Code Claude trying to solve the same problem. The capabilities and smarts between the two models are night and day. I could post both transcripts but why should I? Iâm sure there is someone like you that will get offended and criticize my findings.
Itâs not my responsibility, Iâm the consumer. If the product does not provide value for me equal to or greater than what I am paying in, then I just find a better option. I donât need to spend my time hovering the forums looking for places to be relevant, I have too much work to do.
And I am not trying to contribute to the success of Cursor any further than paying the monthly subscription, because I donât see the reason to try and become an activist for a company that has billions of dollars and can hire people to do that for them.

Did I ask for an answer? You must stay really busy injecting yourself into internet posts.
Iâve posted like 2 times in 4 or 5 months; I guess I did not realize you were the moderator / post judger guy. There is something really odd about your behavior and desire to argue and criticize comments from a bunch of strangers, it must keep you up at night. I bet you could go on for hours!

The terminal does first follow your auto-run list, not sure what is wrong here
I see where youâre coming from, user feedback is definitely valuable, but I think thereâs a balance. In my experience, relying too heavily on what the loudest users say can derail good product direction. The teamâs role is to interpret feedback, not obey it, users reveal problems, we decide the solutions. So Iâd say validate user pain points, but trust the teamâs judgment on how to solve them.

2.0 is currently unusable â it seems to consume about 5Ă more tokens and produces 10x worse results. Now agent is very sloppy, inattentive, slow and expensive ;/
Version 1.7 has been great.
I hope youâll do something about version 2.0. It looks like youâre trying to make a better product for junior devs to build Hello Worlds, but at the same time youâre sacrificing mids and seniors working on larger projects ;/
Also, comparing Claude Code to Cursor is just ridiculous â Claude Code feels like a plastic toy, while Cursor 1.7 was a freaking rocket ship.

Itâs a forum. Your posts will be read, and people can respond. No one said you had to please me with your comments. Thatâs a weird argument. Simply, you made an assessment and shared it on a public forum (presumably for it to be read). I asked for more information about how your situation occurred and why. You did not provide that because you were not interested in making your shared assessment understood. That is fine. You can have more important things to do. But its a forum, and you brought your assessment into the public space for others to read and potentially be critical of, and I responded interested in what you had to say. When you made it clear you were not here to help people understand you, thatâs when I pointed how that some users are here to just complain.
Then you use the argument that the concept of a forum is dumb where the whole purpose is for people read and respond and try to have conversations on specific topics. If you wanted a private conversation with Cursor, email them.

You have psychological issues; nobody is forcing you to carry on about any particular post. Seek help, you are spending way too much time arguing with strangers about insignificant things. Seriously, this seems like a cry for help.
