Developer weswinder says he hasn't opened Cursor in weeks. His main coding tool is now Claude Code, with less Codex usage since Opus 5.5 dropped, and he calls the Grok/X unified bundle the best case he's seen for why people still use Cursor. He asks what would actually make users switch back, echoing growing sentiment that Cursor is losing mindshare among pro developers.
