Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey thanks for the report, this is a known issue - it’s already fixed in version 2.4.
Try this:
- Update Cursor to version 2.4 or newer: Cursor Settings > Beta > Early Access
- After updating you can switch back to Prettier v12+ - ESM is now supported
- Reload the window:
Ctrl + Shift + P > Developer: Reload Window
If the issue persists after updating to 2.4+ let me know what exact version of Cursor you’re running.

The problem persists even after upgrading to the latest version.
However, the solution you provided can solve this by downgrading the plugin version.

If the plugin version and cursor version are as shown in the image above, the plugin still won’t work.
