Cursor feels like a company without product management. Just devs and designers running seemingly random experiments with little higher-level strategy. I use Cursor a lot, and it is becoming a very frustrating experience: — The interface is cluttered with tiny icons that get shuffled around every week — Are they building an agent or an editor? Pick one. This hybrid approach, where they pivot weekly, is frustrating — “Everything and the kitchen sink” isn't a great way to manage a product. A better approach is focusing on the core, and make that great instead of changing/adding useless things — Focus on stability. People use this for real work. Running into bugs and issues daily isn't the experience anyone wants Compare this to Claude Code: one text box, clear identity as an agent. Simple and focused. It's no wonder it's growing a lot.
You are losing a lot of revenue by not offering a reverse trial. I wish we had done this many years ago! Todoist conversion rates based on thousands of upgrades:
Anthropic: - Haiku 4.5 - Sonnet 4.5 - Opus 4.5 Simple. Clear. Easy to make a choice, especially when you factor in price. We don't use any OpenAI models at Doist (we mainly use Anthropic and Google), and not because they aren't good, but because it's a maze to figure out which OpenAI model to use for what purpose.
