What people haven't realised yet is that Cursor isn't a product, it's a collection of features that every product is feverishly working to add.

The key take away here is that save for the deep integration, there is a strategy for working with a best in class agent solution agnostic of tooling.

These learnings will eventually coalesce into "best practices" that people will apply using the editor or IDE of their choice and all these vscode forks will have died off.

Arguably this is why I'm still long on GitHub Copilot. Love them or hate them Microsoft/GitHub are proven winners in feature parity work and have such a big moat today. Why use a VS Code fork when you can "use the real thing"?

Microsoft/GitHub has even signaled confidence that they can compete feature by feature with the forks by even open sourcing much of the Copilot integration in VS Code.

Aesthetically, I like VS Code Copilot/Copilot Chat UIs/UX for the most part, certainly better than I like Claude Code and more than I like Cursor, too.
