What users say about Cursor
Themes from 24 public Hacker News comments that mention Cursor (Oct 19 to Oct 27). These are people’s opinions, not facts we have verified. Counts are comments, not a survey.
What people like
Useful for agentic coding workflows
4 commentsSeveral commenters say Cursor works well for delegating coding tasks, planning, and cheaper model use, and that its cloud agents produced useful review material.
“The key to good results with minimal effort seems to be the planning modes to me, combined with the /goal command.”
Hacker News · Oct 25(opens in a new tab) “Cursor Cloud used its VM to make nice screen shots and recordings so you could see the new feature live before deploying.”
Hacker News · Oct 26(opens in a new tab) Fast Origin service comparable to Linear
3 commentsA few commenters report that Cursor Origin, the git hosting product, is fast and a good alternative to GitHub during outages.
“Origin is fast. It’s comparable to moving from Jira to Linear.”
Hacker News · Oct 21(opens in a new tab) Model choice across many models
3 commentsSome commenters value Cursor for letting them switch between many frontier and cheaper models inside one tool.
“we have cursor at work with most of the top models and I switch regularly.”

Common complaints
Less differentiated than model vendors' tools
4 commentsSome commenters argue Cursor has little defensible value beyond the underlying models, and that CLI harnesses or other editors can do the same work.
“Cursor had... nothing. A minor, indefensible value add to a much larger and wealthier supplier.”
Hacker News · Oct 26(opens in a new tab) Usage costs and token spend concerns
3 commentsSeveral commenters raise cost concerns, including token spend pressure at work and a per-seat price they consider high relative to alternatives.
“when my boss starts hassling me about token spend I honestly prefer to use composer rather than Grok.”
