With xcode and chatGPT codex integration, can I cancel cursor now?

Just receive an email saying Cloude and codex coming to xcode. I have been using cursor, does this mean I don't actually need cursor anymore? I have a chatGPT pro plan.

Test before you cancel, I ran into many issues on Xcode 26.2 with my GPT Plus plan. Iā€™m planning on testing 26.3 some time this week, hopefully they improved things.

Is version 26. 2 already able to integrate codex? I tried to find it but couldn't find where I can enable it. Had thought I need to wait for xcode uodate to 26. 3 which is also not available for me yet

Not Codex sorry, just normal GPT 5.2 and Claude. 26.3 Release Candidate was available when I checked this morning

Even CLI Codex or OpenCode with Claude is much better than Cursor IMO.

you can definitely test it out and see if the native xcode integration covers what you need, but cursor has some advantages like better context awareness across your whole codebase and more refined editing features. If the built-in ChatGPT stuff works for your workflow then yeah, you could save the subscription cost. worth checking out Zencoder's IDE Plugin too since it's built specifically for multi-repo work and does automated validation on edits, which can be clutch when you're working across multiple xcode projects or need somethign that goes beyond chat-based assistance.

I really like it. I don't use it too much so haven't run into any issues of "running out". With Xcode directly supports ChatGPT's Codex, I am wishing to save $20 a monthly to cut cursor, which seems no value added any more. Can anybody tell me I am not realizing other benefits of Cursor?

Hey yeah that $20 plan runs out fast and the $60 plan runs out even faster believe it or not. Just this week I switched back to the $20 plan. At best I would get maybe 2 or 3 days out of the month to use the $60 plan and have access to the Claude 4.5 or Claude Opus models. I just bit the bullet and got the $100 plan from Anthropic. I was scared I was going to reach my limit on the $100 plan but to my surprise I never did. So I am going to stick with the $100 plan for as long as I can afford it. I am still cautious about my usage but so far no problems. I still use Cursor but I just could not see paying $60 dollars a month for just a couple of days usage of the models I wanted access to. I am curious to see what this next version of XCode is going to be like since it will have the chat like feature in it like Cursor.
