I guess I’m on the right track.

If Claude pulls away from Cursor as well then Cursor is basically done.

I've been using Cursor with Grok 4.6 a lot over the last week or so. Grok Build as well. Both options are performing very well for me.

		Ya I was slow to try Grok but I’m now happy with it.

Grok? Google?

I'm not a fan of Elon, nor do I use Cursor, but OpenAI and Anthropic aren't the only models.

Cursor is like one of the least economical ways to use Claude and OpenAI, virtually nobody does it. You use Cursor for their autocomplete/composer + grok. For using Claude and Codex, you get immeasurably more bang for your buck just using them directly.

All good points. However, it's not a safe assumption that everyone operates that way. People probably use the flagship models because that's what they know. Sure, some probably just use the default, in this case Grok.

Also, it's a signal more than anything. OpenAI pulls out of Cursor. Then Anthropic and Google does as well. Then you no longer have "Cursor" you have Grok.

Grok doesn't have the best reputation in general, regardless if you're tech savvy or not.
