Getting Started with Cursor now?
Hi everyone 👋
Let's get the obvious out of the way first: I'm new to Cursor. I have experience building apps with other vibecoding platforms like Replit, Lovable, etc and I've also built apps straight up with Claude Code.
A couple of friends recently were telling me that I should get Cursor and I'd notice a huge difference in how much better my development would be. They swear it's night and day.
But, I came to the subreddit (and others similar) and I keep seeing mentions of the spacex acquisition, of the drop in quality, of issues and more issues. I'm still willing to try Cursor, but I figured I'd ask the community first: What should I be looking at for? What are some things I should do right away to make things as good as possible for a newbie? And not to be toxic but like... should I just straight up try a different approach/app?
