It was good and there before, however, it terms of context retrieval to write code much better Cursor doesn’t seem to do this anymore. Look at WS, how their cascade analyze context and search codebase for what is needed before actually writing code, it understands everything and doesn’t assume. This is SUPER CRITICAL addition, if Cursor continue to be like this - WS will basically take over. ---

Hey, can you send an example screenshot of where Cursor has been missing context that other editors have been able to get just fine? ---
