I got a student subscription to cursor and after giving it a good 6 hours I’ve abandoned it.

I extremely dislike the way it goes forth and bolts. I don’t trust these tools enough to just point it in the direction and say go, I like to be a human in the loop. Perhaps the use case I was working on then was difficult (quite old react native library upgrade across a medium sized codebase) but I eventually cracked this on Claude; cursor in both entropic and Gemini left me with an absolute mess.

Even repeatedly asking the prompt to keep me in the loop it kept on just running haywire.
