In the thread “How I write code using Cursor”

Helped: Generating boilerplate, tests, and docs; maintaining focus and flow.

… Similarly going on a search engine to find an answer would often put me in a long loop of looking for answers deeply buried in a very long article (you need to help SEO after all, don't you?) and then it would be more likely that I would get distracted by messages on my company chat or social media. I can easily say that Cursor has made me more productive than I was one year ago. I feel like the criticism many have comes from the wrong expectations of these tools doing the work for you, whereas they are more into easing out the boring and sometimes the hard parts.
