"DID YOU JUST BAN CURSOR?" https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dotnettools/issues/1909
> The error seems very clear to me. Dev Kit is licensed only for use with VS Code, Cursor is not VS Code, ergo it is not licensed to use it.
>
> Not to mention that only VS Code can use the official plugin registry in the first place. Everything working as intended.

>> I know it works as intended. Just curios why Microsoft decided to enforce this all of a sudden.
Because they can. Also...
>> Did GitHub Copilot just give up on playing fair with Cursor, admitting it's winning?
The game wasn't 'fair' to begin with and it was rigged for Microsoft to win anyway. (Cursor being based on VS Code).
If you're competing against Microsoft, expect them to race you to zero for years (extinguish) at close to no cost for them.
It is all for Cursor to lose if they continue as they are and competitors like Microsoft catch up (and they will do so very quickly whilst lowering prices).
