Just open the root folder in cursor and it'll still do all the stuff for you. Just go build it in MSVC. This is how I build apps. I create an empty project in Xcode, and then I go over to Cursor and have it write all the code. And then I go back to Xcode to build and run it.
I was also shopping around second class Pycharm (from Jetbrains) extensions till I found Aider+Openrouter (Gemini 2.0 Flash costs at least 4x cheaper than Sonnet 3.7). I keep a terminal in sight to see what its doing, and leave comments `//do this ai` and tell it to act. All other AI assisted workflows feel clunkly now.

Have you tried Claude code? It’s of course more expensive but the terminal UI is fantastic
