I've noticed that tools like Cursor doesn't really seem to make difference in the end. The good software developers are still the good software developers, regardless of editors.
I don't think you should be upset or worried that people aren't adopting these tools as you think they should. If the tool really lives up to its hype then the non-adopters will fall behind and, for example, be forced to switch to Cursive. This happened with IDEs (e.g. IntelliSense, jump to definition). It may happen with tools like Cursive.
I certainly don't feel this way but if I'm proven wrong thats good.
To be proven wrong would be that Cursor is used by all devs or that IDEs adopt AI into their workflow?
Like OP using cursor has been a huge productivity boost. I maintain a few postgres databases, I work as a fullstack developer, and manage kubernetes configs. When using cursor to write sql tables or queries it adopts my way of writing sql. It analyzed (context) my database folder and when I ask it to create a query, a function, a table, the output is in my style. This blew me away when I first started with cursor.
Onto react/nextjs projects. In the same fashion, I have my way of writing components, fetching data, and now writing RSA. Cursor analyzed my src folder, and when asked to create components from scratch the output was again similar to my style. I use raw CSS and class names, what was an obstacle of naming has become trivial with Cursor ("add an appropriate class to this component with this styling"). Again, it analyzed all my CSS files and spits out css/classes in my writing/formatting style. And working on large projects it is easy to forget the many many components, packages, etc. that integrated/have been written already. Again, cursor comes out on top.
Am I good developer or a bad developer? Don't know. Don't care. I'm cranking out features faster than I have ever done in my decades of development. As has been said before, as a software engineer you spend more time reading code than writing. Same applies to genAI. It turns out that I can ask cursor to analyze packages, spit out code, yaml configuration, sql, and it gets me 80% done with writing from scratch. Heck, if I need types to get full client/server type completion experience, it does that too! I have removed many dependencies (tailwind, tRPC, react query, prisma, to name a few) because cursor has helped me overcome obstacles that these tool assisted in (and I still have typescript code hints in all my function calls!).
All in all, cursor has made a huge difference for me. When colleagues ask me to help them optimize sql, I ask cursor to help out. When colleagues ask to write generic types for their components, I ask cursor to help out. Whether cursor or some other tool, integrating AI with the IDE has been a boom for me.
Oh yeah, typo, I work with the Cursive IDE a lot. I've spent a good amount of time with Cursor. And I have no doubt that it provides a lot of utility. I also would agree that most good devs I know definitely adopt some form of LLM integration. I would even agree that a lot of cursive features will bleed into other editors, maybe being considered a necessity.
I just haven't made the observation that most people have switched to Cursor full-time and I also haven't noticed that those who have are on another level compared to those using their other editor plus chatgpt/copilot/etc.
