Cursor. You guys are the new Henry Ford, but you’re acting like the McDonald’s brothers.
The guys who had too constricting of a vision for their company so Ray Kroc took it from them and made billions while they got nothing.
If Henry Ford gave people what they asked for, they would’ve gotten faster horses, not automobiles.
The McDonalds brothers were very hardworking, in the same way that you guys are shipping multiple updates a day at this point. I get it. But you’re just making faster horses.
Most people unhappy with 0.46 are experiencing “reactance”
It’s the phenomenon when we are used to an old thing and instantly dislike the new thing, like how people hated “New Coke” when it was the exact same formulation
I think what we liked about composer is that it seemed to make effort to understand the entire codebase. Like a composer in an orchestra, it would guide all the different instrument players, whereas the agent just plays one instrument really well
We all want AI to do as much of the hard stuff for us as possible, and we know it’s smart enough and capable enough to do so because we’ve seen Cursor at its best.
The people feeling cheated and asking for refunds aren’t scammers or bad people, they are simply attached to the projects they’re building and don’t like “feeling” less able to achieve them, even if it is a feeling.
It’s awesome that the team is rolling out fixes to these bugs as soon as possible, but really what people want is what they know Cursor is obviously capable of, they’ve seen it in their best moments
And you guys are giving into the noise. The McDonald’s brothers created fast food when everyone was asking for Drive-Ins. On their first day at launch people got mad and there was chaos because they didn’t know how to walk up to order.
Listening to the noise of the people who will only pay $20/mo is only going to make faster horses. Give them an automobile they can drive to their dreams of software development, and charge a reasonable price for it so you can afford to do what’s actually necessary
To be very clear, what I am asking for is a main chat that you can chat with and talk about the context of your project and everything you want it to do and all the documentation necessary and then have multiple agent chats that function like the current agent chats that can not only do everything the current agent chat does but are smart about summarizing themselves. As context for new chats.
This way you would not have to make composer/Agent chats over and over and over again to get one issue done.
my two cents
