this is a pretty clean test of whether people were buying cursor or just using it for convenient access to whichever model was flavor of the week.

i work in qa so i'm naturally wary of adding another critical dependency to a development workflow, if the model you actually want can just disappear because two vendor change ownership or start argueing then the wrapper has to be really good on its own.

cursors harness and its own models may be good enough that users stay, and if they do cursor has a moat at least. if everyone follows the openai models out the door, it will just become a polished ui.

I use Cursor because I listened to YouTube interviews with the teams behind most of these products and I trusted their team the most.
