I am about 70% through my first paid month with Cursor.

I should say I have budgeted that I am going to pay $20 for something AI right now no matter what.

Cursor is worth it, but I should have had an exact project in mind when I subscribed. I don't think I am going to get my money's worth completely this month because of how generous Claude's free tier is. I do like just asking the web ui random things sometimes.

At one point a few weeks back I did have overlap with o1, Cursor paid and Claude free tier all at the same time. I know I am not subscribing again to chatGPT until the non-preview o1 is out.

I do like the Cursor UI but there is something about copy/paste with the chatbot that I also like in conjunction with non-AI VScode or jupyter. Like the difference between oil paints and pastels. Both probably have their place in the tool belt.
