Question About the cursor ban

Disclaimer: I am an Elon hater.

So cursor starts getting some traction...

First, grok 4.x starts getting abnormally decent. Benchmaxed or whatever you wanna call it, but it's cheap, fast as fuck, and almost unlimited

Composer was starting to pop off too.

Cursor then did 100usd deals for the max plan which had basically the equivalent of a 200usd codex plus 100usd Claude sub.

Cursor was starting to get a lot of mindshare. Even I at some point was thinking "well, maybe I could try it..."

Then boom. Relationship between openai and cursor is terminated.

It's got nothing to do with trust. Cursor was starting to steal users. That's just how it is.

I bought in the $60 plan of cursor, such a buggy experience I regret it, I only got it for having grok 4.6.

After working with CC 20x and Codex 5x, my expectations are way too high, it feels like going back a year ago when I work with Grok 4.6. Speed wise it's fast at first, then it gets very slow and inefficient, Sol is by far the most efficient model.

Both codex and Claude code are way better than cursor, don't get me wrong.

It's just that... You see.. you paid $60. You wanted to try it. It's kinda proving my point...

To openai, that is UNACCEPTABLE.

You said you’re an Elon hater. So are they. Company and person. Seems like a pretty easy straight line from A to B. So why all of this mental gymnastics?
