I gave up on one of my side projects 2-3 months ago, but recently found motivation to pick it back up. I’ve been playing with Agent and it’s way more capable than a few months ago; it’s working through plenty of files, and attempting to run commands from the shell to validate its attempts. All of this is super cheap as well; I’m a huge fan!
I definitely believe there’s been cases of “1 step backwards, 2 steps forwards”, but try going without Cursor for a month or two and come back; you’ll definitely notice a huge difference!
after fast requests, it becomes really creepy. lower context, models doesn’t want to do multiple requests for the prompt and so on. like it turns into a lazy inefficient IDE. although the fast requests (which represent a large portion of the customer feedback), the overall system of Cursor is ramping up! I hope they solve it without scaling the price (since Gemini 2.5 Pro is much cheaper, it doesn’t make sense to keep usage like that). UI, UX, improvements and constant updates from the team are keeping me inspired about the future
