Says the guy who doesn't even code. Cursor was and is still the best coding tool and if you want to vibe code, then you should have it. Claude Code is better and you can use that too. But GitHub and all? that terrible. Also remember, that Just b

Cursor's fun, no doubt. But hype ≠ moat. Cool UX doesn’t guarantee survival — especially when you're built on someone else's stack.

It's not about hype, it's about the quality of the generated code and Cursor is great at it. Claude Code is way better but it's launched very recently and thus it's not that popular. And btw you're talking about Ux when it comes to Cursor!! Cursor i

Quality matters, sure. But long-term edge matters more. Cursor runs on someone else’s codebase, models, and infra. That’s not a moat — that’s a vulnerability.

So what do you think is the solution? Self hosted models?

If you can, go self-hosted. If not, use open-source tools that let you switch models anytime. Just don’t get locked into fancy wrappers with no real control.

Self hosting requires a really powerful computer and using it as a Chatbot vs as an Ai Powered IDE are 2 completely different things. You need a whole software which let's you do that. Along with that Cursor and ig ai powered IDE got something called
