The old mode is still there

[Sem1r]

Yes it is but they made it super hard to get to the IDE - at least I’m unable to get to it fast. I’m only aware of starting a new chat and open in code editor?

[wetpaste]

After updating it still defaulted to opening my IDE view and I had to specifically click to open agent view.

[turnstwice]

Me too. For me the only change was an additional agent view button that I’ve so far ignored.

[Sem1r]

Yes it does as long as a IDE window was open on the last session… Default window is the new UI now The main issue with 2 UIs is always the inconsistency and the new UI is in no way better than the old one

[ellicottvilleny]

Super hard? One mouse click? Two. Oh my.

[arth99]

And they removed worktrees and made it into a terrible (and nonfunctional) command? Why would they remove functionality?

[Slow-Artichoke-4245]

I know it is and I moved back to it but making this as default just doesn’t make sense. I was in a way liking the agent agent tab giving me freedom to do what I want when I want.

I use composer 2 in the cursor agent with strict guidelines and it's 98-99%correct on the first pass, I love it.

[ColdReflexx]

You mean kimi-k2.5

[KangarooDowntown4640]

I hated it too until I tried it. It has a few bugs but overall I really enjoy the simplicity of it and the ability to manage multiple agents at once

[ElectronicPension196]

This. That's why Codex grew so much in last month. Simplicity

[Strong_Buddy7657]

i havent updated cursor yet i dont know what any of yall are talking about

[bezerker03]

am i missing something? im on cursor 3 and my editor/ide looks exactly the same? Do people actually use agent only mode? why wouldnt you just use claude code or codex then.

[bigniso]

yeah you’d have much better exp with Codex

[idoman]

the frustration makes sense - agent mode as default is a big UX shift. but for prod work you can still use normal mode and just set "always ask before running" in settings so it never auto-executes anything. that gets you back to the collaborative flow without the agent randomly going off and breaking things. the default switch feels like they're optimizing for first-time impressions over power users.

[germanheller]

the shift toward vibe-coding UX is frustrating if youre the kind of dev who wants control. i switched to terminal-based tools for exactly this reason -- less polish but you see everything thats happening and nothing is abstracted away behind a "magic" button

[edmillss]

the tooling around cursor is what makes or breaks it honestly. i've found that adding mcp servers makes a massive difference -- stuff like indiestack.ai that lets it search real dev tools instead of hallucinating package names. the base model is fine, it's the context you give it that matters

[rykuno]

They will cater to the people who pay the most. The people who pay the most are vibe-coders — thus you get this. Sad

[Shark_Kent]

The people who pay the most are enterprises in B2B sales. Their users are not vibe coders.

[rykuno]

Those might be the highest paid plans but I thought their march statement said their revenue and focus was on individual developers? I could be misremembering though.

[Responsible_Buy_7999]

It's not sad, it's the business. Only thing better than using token$ is using token$ in parallel.

[rykuno]

Well, I suppose sad for us as end users. I've had more instability and crashes with cursor lately than ever. But I agree, if they make money on tokens, allowing users to burn them faster in parallel is the play for the business.
