It is hard to evaluate the model performance of Composer 2.5 when Cursor's harness is so awful compared to the others on the market.

[sergiotapia]

Not my experience at all. I've been using Cursor hardcore for about two weeks now and Composer 2.5 and it's wonderful. Now with Grok 4.5 I'm quite excited about the possibilities.

Cursors whole moat is their harness. Other people have benched opus and GPT models through Claude code, codex, and cursor, and cursor came out on top everytime because of their harness.

The harness is commonly ranked one of the best. what specifically had you hating it?

[sroussey]

Yeah, it’s not great—except for debugging. It shines there.

[brightball]

In what way? I spend more of my time managing than hands on lately so I legitimately don’t know.

[seunosewa]

Not true. The only issue is cost of frontier models.

Care to elaborate?
