I'm a managing consultant, so I don't have much time to do actual work (due to having to chat up clients and tell other people what to do). With cursor I can do what would have taken me an afternoon, previously, in an hour.
This is huge for me, because I can realise ideas and show people how to solve problems whereas bc (before cursor) I was reduced to saying "I'm sure that will work if we do it that way" and hoping that my folks would follow through on the thinking themselves.
Cursor supports me in two ways.
1) It gets things moving - I can put all the boilerplate and infrastructure to build something in place in a few minutes.
2) It removes road blocks. When I get stuck it gives me fixes.
Now I recognise it's all from Stack Exchange, basically, but it's a terrific interface for that knowledge.
What it doesn't do is provide new knowledge or ideas for fixing things. That has to come from upstairs still, but that's never been an issue for me.
