Cursor achieved fast adoption by making it simple to move from Visual Studio code.

Double-edged sword. It is also simple to move back to VS code and agent extensions.

This is basically what I did. In 2023 I moved from VS Code to Cursor. And in 2025 when Opus 4.7 (or was it 4.6?) did that big leap in December, I switched to Claude Code and VSCode for any edits. I come from Sublime Text so those shortcuts are hardwired in me (which was also the defaults in VSCode). When Cursor hijacked literally every CMD key combo, I got fed up and switched back to VSCode. Maybe I should just go back to Sublime Text now lol, since I really just need a blazing fast code reader.

Cursor has an import assistant from vs code settings. Ahere is no assistant for the inverse. Not even for moving between computers (at least a couple of months ago when I had the need haha).
