I do a ridiculous amount of dumb shit with cursor without paying extra for it and I can't be the only one. There is just no way they will ever make a profit with their current all-you-can-eat model. Like there have been times I have just copy and pasted code into a cursor window for the AI to add when I could have just pasted it myself just because it makes the context easier to deal with.
However, they will eventually get purchased by an AI company because the _product_ is great.
You are not the only one.
"Revert the changes to <file>..." 4 zillion tokens... 10 seconds...
Instead of > git checkout <file>
just to keep Cursor in the loop.
I assume I have probably eaten up my $20/month in tokens just on stuff like that.
At least in Copilot, the revert changes is more like undo/redo of a series of changes. Often I want to keep all of the changes except for the most recent one
git checkout would destroy this (and "corrupts" the Copilot session state)
Believe it or not, you can use Cursor and type in git checkout yourself. It's pretty wild.

'Great' is in the eye of the beholder. For me, Cursor was one of the least-effective solutions of the many options (from Cursor and other AIDEs, to repo-centric web-based options like Jules, to CLI-based options like Claude Code) I evaluated a few months ago.
Did you keep a list of how each solution ranked? I'd be curious to see it (genuinely).
