How I write code using Cursor: A review

Is that your actual experience or expectation? If you're just making assumptions, I'd encourage you to give it an actual try. Talking about using Cursor is a bit like talking about riding a bike with someone who never did it. (But yeah, it's totally not for everyone, and that's fine)

Very early on I took pains to figure out what toolchains gave me traction and which tools produced waste complexity.

I think a lot of the excitement about using LLMs to code is because a lot of teams are stuck in local optima where they need to use noisy tools, and there's a lot of de-noised output available to train LLMs.

This is progress in searching and mitigating bad trade-offs, not in advancing the state of the art.
