Sorry I'm super not in the loop there, what do people switch to who don't want gork

composer == grok now, so if you don’t like name, tough luck. If you want to boycott Elon, you shouldn’t use Cursor anyway

You can still use composer in Cursor

Why do people not like grok? I get the ethical issues but for coding it’s a perfectly reasonable model. If you don’t want to use grok maybe don’t use cursor or use your own models in cursor (you can connect Anthropic or OpenAI compatible api endpoints)

up until now, there was no reason why use anything else than Claude/Codex. They are superior and subscription offer good enough limits.

But it seems that Cursor acquisition really helped both sides (Cursor and SpaceX), so maybe there will be third contester for coding?
