I have issues with Cursor Is it a skill issue? I often cannot apply the code changes (no green/red lines). It doesn't see my code even though I added it in context (I need to @mention it to fix it) When "coding by hand" it's too intrusive - suggests so many things I cannot "type in peace"

Take a look at Windsurf. The pricing is a bit off since the latest update, but I prefer it over Cursor. Or you can just use Cline with your own API Key. (already works with Googles latest Model for freeish).

Yes, I'm seeing people raving about Windsurf - that's what triggered my tweet. I don't wanna switch yet, as switching costs are just too high (relearning) - I'd rather want to get Cursor working

Not much of a switching cost. Everything looks the same. I switched fro cursor to Windsurf too (though time to time I switch back to check)

Last week I had to debug performance issues in a large codebase. Windsurf helped. But wanted to check what cursor could do. Wasn't drastically different from what WS said. Still used both since I had to quickly debug things.
