I just switched to https://www.trae.ai/ - basically the same thing. but it's free (for now haha)
On the philosophical part, well, I can say things to composer like "build out a fastapi server with xyz routes, with a nice folder structure" and it'll do a lot. I still want it to be better, though, re: system design.
Maybe there's hidden workflows, like write your thoughts in a doc and let the LLM see that. Or maybe you can have the agent write down its thoughts in a doc as a sort of working memory.
I'd love to hear more about people's non-conventional usages of Cursor
