There are some Enterprise plan shenanigans, so cli is not an option.

At home I use claude and gemini in terminal, both work great for me

Really? Can you say what you hate it about it pls

I'd like to retract my critique.

I just opened the app to see what else I can bring up, and while clicking through UI I noticed I had some crappy key bindings extension installed, which apparently caused many of my annoyances.

I've probably installed it very long ago, or even by accident.

For example, I was always annoyed that open file/directory shortcut (one of most common operations) is not assigned and requires mouse interaction -- fixed by disabling the extension. Go to file shortcuts does something completely different -- fixed by disabling the extensions.

I likely won't adopt Cursor as my main IDE/Editor, but it's miles better than I thought just an hour ago.

Thanks for your question :D

it's rare to see someone circle back with a retraction, even on HN. Kudos

Not the person you asked, but I hate how it screws up keyboard shortcuts. It overrode the delete line shortcut with its own inline chat one, for example.

Decided to ditch it for claude code right after that, since I cannot be bothered to go over the entire list of keyboard shortcuts and see what else it overrode/broke.

I've found that annoying too, but you can always rebind them as you wish. It's only a few new keybinds that get in the way of my muscle memory.

That said I also have moved to CLI agents like Claude Code and Codex because I just find them more convenient and, for whatever reason, more intelligent and more likely to correctly do what I request.

From the top of my head in no specific order

- Icons on the toolbar in the left panel have no labels or even tooltips. No way to know what they do without clicking and checking.

- Space in the file explorer in the left panel opens a file (haven't noticed such behavior in other editors -- totally unexpected).

- Maybe that's the artifact of me installing Vim plugin, but Keyboard shortcuts displayed in the main menu don't do what they say they do.

- It often offers installing some plugins, and I've absolutely no idea why, and what will happen if I do or if I don't.

I'm talking about Cursor, which I assume is exactly like VS Code. Tried VS Code only once very long ago.

I think the left toolbar icons do have tooltips, but they show up pretty slowly for me (2-3 seconds).
