Cursor as an editor/IDE when you take away LLM features is just a worse VSCode (1) lacking some useful first party features, e.g. highlight of staged changes; (2) where a significant number of extensions can’t be found — yes, I know you can manually install vsix but that’s a pain. I moved back to VSCode once I no longer need Cursor’s (top notch at the time) auto complete.

Also, Cursor really pushes you to use their agent stuff, I had to close/switch just to get to the goddamn code whenever I opened something in Cursor. VSCode is still happy to be an editor where code is centered for my review.
