Grok Build with Grok 4.5 is the best coding AI agent I have ever had the pleasure of using. Stopped using Fable after it.

A lot of companies are still using Cursor but I don't know of anyone moving to it, and I do know of many moving from it to Codex or Claude, feels like a legacy product at this point alongside windsurf & the replit/lovable/bolt cluster.

The new Cursor model is good and Grok chat is decent as a 2nd or 3rd opinion.

It’s my go to normal stuff. It’s fast, balanced and if you want a better researched response you can click “think harder”

It's the only one I pay for and it's made me insanely productive.

$employer uses Cursor, which is apparently owned by them and presumably using their models now.

I mean Elon probably doesn't want you to use it if you wouldn't use it not because of any technical reason, but just cause you don't like him.

So sick of the woke anti everything Elon on HN. It’s low IQ noise. Please stick to the technical merits and save your politics for Reddit

I'm honestly not trying to spark a political conversation - but the target user base is far-right

I have friends who use it and rate it.

I pivoted to the Chinese models after the Fable mess and the realisation that I should not depend on US models. But others just pivoted away from Claude.

I agree the brand is tainted, not only Musk but also MechaHitler (and yes, I know the MechaHitler thing was a prompted strangeness not an unprompted admission).
