I wanted to share my experience with Cursor IDE recently. Despite being a Pro subscriber, the performance has been incredibly slow. Simple tasks take much longer than they used to, and at times, the IDE completely stops responding, leaving me waiting with no reply or progress.
For an IDE that promises to boost productivity, it’s quite frustrating to experience such delays. At this point, it’s actually quicker to write code manually rather than waiting for the IDE to catch up.
Is anyone else facing similar issues? Would love to know if there’s a workaround or fix in sight!
I was having issues to find the reference of variables and file and navigate to the file automatically when clicking while pressing command, this operation was very slow but the issue was in my tsconfig.json file, the project was a react frontend and the moduleResolution was set to “node”, I comment it and it got faster again.
I have similar issues. Basic IDE functionality like navigation or proper symbol indexing take a very long time, much longer than with plain VSCode. The AI “benefit” is being outweighed by subpar basic functionality.
The same is happening to me. I have a relatively small Python project with around 50 files (Link to codebase). Using the “Go to Definition” command to jump to a class definition takes several seconds, while in VSCode it is instantaneous on the same codebase. I’ve been unable to diagnose why this is the case. I’ve read that the search might be powered by the ripgrep command, and perhaps that is having a problem.
