Just my two cents that in the last year Cursor has become insanely good - fast, efficient and accurate. I am in auto 100% of the time, often complex tasks, and it is crazy fast and basically never gets anything wrong as long as I write comprehensive prompts. It’s a dramatic improvement from 1-2 years ago.

Still waiting on the fix for the UTF encoding bug though!
