I doubt it. Cursor is an IDE with an ai co-pilot deeply integrated into it. They've literally changed the paradigm of software development by making ai-assisted coding feasible. The vibe-coding mention is reductive imo.

Another way of looking at it: Maker of "pricey electronic typewriter", Apple hits $9B valuation (FT 1984)

pretty reductive

Are they different from Copilot though?

I mean I tried C# integration and Cursor does not even fix all compilation errors before reporting it has "completed the task". Feels like that's the most basic integration you can have beyond reviewing diffs.

That's a fair question and point. I'm not die-hard Cursor fan. Use what works best for you, but I'm just more so commenting that the vibe-coding part totally minimizes what the offering is.
