A hyped startup providing zero added value, burning investor money only to repackage somebody else's work? That's new... /s

It depends on what you consider value. People are using it so they find some value.
Incompetently repackaging. They started with VSCode so nearly all the work was already done, but still managed to make it leak memory like it's infinite. The power of AI slop! Their product is an anti-advertisement for the core concept of itself, which is kind of impressive.
I like Cursor's AI projects a lot. Cursor Tab is truly impressive. But you couldn't be more right.

I just downloaded VSCode again today after Cursor's latest update dropped my editor to 5 FPS or so (legitimately unusable. not hyperbole.) and holy shit it feels snappy. Completely forgot what it's like.
