I for one have been very complimentarily of cursor when it has been due, and just as thoroughly critical of it when, again, it has been due.
If the world actually started calling a spade a spade, we would live in a much better society, and inferiority wouldn’t become the norm!
Whether you appreciate Cursor or whether it is fit for purpose are two completely separate things and to confuse the two really doesn’t legitimise your opinion I am afraid.
The majority of the criticism is around the inconsistency in how Cursor performs because of various issues like rushing upgrades to market before even testing them, and many others.
But a business can’t expect to not receive negative feedback when they charge the same for a product or service to work one day and not the next.
Again, because you appreciate Cursor, doesn’t add value to your opinion. In fact it just devalues it.
I am afraid there is no other way to say it than to be blunt and straight to the point.
But for those of us who actually need Cursor to be stable and reliable in order to do our jobs, it working and looking all pretty occasionally doesn’t cut the mustard for professionals, paying professional money!
But that being said. There are a lot less teething issues these days than there was even a month ago!
I like cursor autocomplete, the rest of it is mostly junk - if I could have working autocomplete and pylance I would pay again, but having a working IDE with normal language features is more important.
I think the Cursor team has become too deaf and/or busy not listening users requests and complaints.
The pricing scheme is not working. Why don’t you just charge for what users USE + a small extra for you?
this topic is about forum sentiment and not about Cursor issues
your logic doesn’t make sense as pricing would become highly confusing, better to have a clear package as any other competitor does
Cursor has no competition, either by its quality or pricing and I’ve tried R, C, W, A
miss you @T1000, unfortunately this forum requires a lot of work as it should strictly separate complaints from constructive discussion and be severe on any infraction, AI could be really helpful to categorize and filter but Cursor needs to start caring more about this community, its still one of the best places to talk so hope you return
If the chat is negative is because of the bunch of problems and bugs that cursor has. i.e. I get almost 99% of failing responses. And I even get messages like this after more than 50 consecutive failing respones.
Long chats are not good and must be avoided. As soon as it gives you two wrong answers, shift to a brand new chat.
The context window is transient and it doesn’t know what happened in the beginning after a while, unless you are keeping a tight documentation and detailed task-list.
When you finish a task, it is better to change to a new chat.
and there are better threads for usage issues.
took a short break and really needed it
