i had to uninstall it because it had associated itself with every possible file extension. i couldn't open a file without cursor popping up. very horrifying for that to happen to my computer when working on important projects


I uninstalled when I found out it overwrote "code" command in WSL2 Ubuntu without my consent.

"code" used to fire VS Code.

My rationale is: what else do they think they can get away with in my system?

VS Code Copilot Chat with #codebase in prompt has the edit mode which behaves similar to Cursor. Even more so with o1-preview selected.


On Linux, I have the opposite issue. I ended up hard symlinking cursor to VS Code because Cursor wasn't opening despite being set as the default editor.
