Been using CursorAI for about a week now and overall a good learning experience. Some things that I’ve noticed (but maybe I’m doing wrong) that could use some improvement.
- .cursorrules doesn’t always follow the rules. The first command in my file is:
Always give terminal commands to me in Power Shell. It always ignores this. I have to correct it each time in composer.
-
Maybe it’s just my display but in composer i can’t see some of the code sometimes. It’s cut off on the right and not wrapping. An example where it had me stumped for a second until i popped it out to terminal was it was asking to confirm n/y on an install. i couldn’t see it. It appeared to be hung up.
-
I know I can use github but i don’t want to push every time i work with code. It’d be cool to have a changes tracking system with easy rollbacks in case cursor spazzes out and changed code it shouldn’t. For example it overwrote my .env with my api keys for no reason. It shouldn’t access that without explicit permission or my .gitignore
-
Most of the time it correct lint errors but on several occasions it just skips them. I have to remind it to correct them and it throws me out of the conversation flow. Especially, when I’m running commands in composer.
I’ve got more but these are my biggest gripes atm. Overall, awesome program.
