Lately Cursor has become basically unusable in such degree that I am not even using it anymore. No point in trying to rollback to previous versions, dont know what happened and its a disaster.
So considering all this and the fact I bought yearly subscription is there any possibility i get some refund? It doesn’t have to be full amount since I was using it for some period. But still it would be great if I can get refunded in some amount?
Thank you
On the other hand, I am addicted and I can’t stop using it. I recommend to all my friends and colleagues to use it and I deliver sessions on how to use it.
As another Cursor user, can you share specific examples of your experience?
Never had such experience and didn’t know that yearly subscription existed till I read your post
how do I subscribe yearly?
You need to toggle the switch on the pricing page to complete this: Pricing | Cursor - The AI-first Code Editor
To be honest I agree with the poster because I have had some struggle in doing large and complex projects with cursor I use cursor only for specific changes and small work and I’ve moved the way to use windsurf to organise complex projects
what is your opinion on the windsurf comparing with cursor? I`m using cursor mostly with claudi 3.5 sonnet (as the best model for coding maybe except o1) and on the big projects is worse than a not-skilled junior developer.
I’m currently using a transcription so some of the words might not come out correctly so so far if I produce a detailed backlog and sprint and include it in my context messages in one of the models that they have on windsurf it’s actually really good in understanding the full scope of the task as well as undertaking multiple edit in different files however the biggest issue is that it cannot edit large documents over say 600 or 1000 lines of code therefore a revert back to cursor on those ones however in terms of general building large projects or multiple documents and files it’s amazing. The best part is if you’re using testing which I totally recommend doing it would not only run the test for you understand the issue within the output of the test and to correct it and it will continue to do so until it asks you to rerun the test so every you will be running test again and again and again until or you acceptance criteria have been met and that’s the biggest and the best thing in windsurf especially using test driven development for complex and large projects as one you’re using AI. It is very good in python and I would say pretty good in react and some frameworks but hasn’t performed as good as I wanted to in angular and it’s really bad for view JS because the testing is awful in view.
What I think it does is in the background it knows the structure and the best folder structure for a given framework such as Django or angular and it structures its code accordingly and not using what the large language model has learned as the best practice but I think in the background windsurf is providing enough contacts on the code and even their default large language model that they are providing is as good as the expensive model such as Claude. However I would not use their own model for very complex scenarios where there are multiple logics and different variables that needs to be comprehended to allow for an output such continuous trade critical power analysis. Complex situations I will use 01 mini
Very good input for real!
I’ve been using Windsurf for just over a week.
It is much faster at code generation and is more accurate than Cursor.
I can paste a screenshot of a UI element and both will recreate it just using Tailwind or shadcn.
Both reference existing codebase, and you can highlight/mention certain lines, functions, etc.
But I keep going back to cursor for a few reasons:
.cursorrules/@docsBut competition does breed innovation.
First we had just VS Code extensions like tabnine, cody, and then github copilot and claude-dev (cline), now we have VS Code forks, and Rust based Zed.
ChatGPT only came out 2 years ago. Tons more is coming.
Soon, Cursor & Windsurf won’t be our only options.
