Dear friends of
@cursor_ai,
@mntruell
I'm very surprised at how bad Cursor has become... It became my favorite AI tool after
@code, and I used it non-stop. The UX was so much better than any other tool out there.
However, after getting Codex for open-source, I tried Codex Desktop and basically didn't look back, also thanks to
@thsottiaux. However, given that my Codex credits are depleted from time to time, I return to Cursor, and each time I'm surprised at how bad it is compared to Codex Desktop.
The product seems heavily vibe-coded, with various basic things not working, like:
- chats not syncing between the IDE and the Agents Window app (?)
- clicking "Open Workspace" and it just doesn't open it
- very weird UI issues like the one below with giant whitespace between tool calls.
I tweeted about it a month ago. Someone on your team then reached out to me to fix these issues, but we're a month later, and things are still broken (I'm on 3.20.21).
I don't know what happened. Maybe the focus is on
@bot now?
I'm happy to give all my feedback to improve the product. I'm just sad to see it going this way.
