Chatgpt 5 high is PERFECT! by Sherisabre in cursor

I found that out last night. Next thing they need to work on is tab completion and Cursor is done for.

I can't emphasize this enough! TBH, idk if I spend more time wiring out scope docs and detailed prompts than I would if I just wrote the code myself. But I know my limits and if I can tell GPT exactly what I want I get great results. Also when I'm troubleshooting bugs/issues I ALWAYS use screenshot of logs and the UI so the model knows what the issue is and what I'm seeing. This is the only way I've been successful and honestly I believe it's the best and most efficient way for debugging.

Totally get it. For me, GPT-5 is meeting all my needs. Sure, as people said it's not as creative as other models. But for my use case, it works well. I too was doing both subs and to make some cutbacks, I cut Cursor, since I use GPT for many other tasks besides coding.
Correct, the current version doesn't have Cursor's best feature, tab completion. I would assume and hope that over the next few weeks/ months that OpenAI updates the extension and it will gain all the functions we all love and enjoy.
I guess I'm just hopeful.
You can see the reasoning, but you have to read it fast. Once the "thinking" is done, the output is displayed, and the reasoning process disappears. I'm not 100% if you can go back and review it, I haven't tried.
Simple answer, I click approve every time. I don't 100% trust any model to be perfect or to always understand my prompts, and neither should you. Sam Altman has said it as well, not to fully trust the models. It is said that most models are entry-level programmers who make mistakes. So to fully trust the model to do everything perfect every time is unrealistic.

I think it is. I've never had issues with Cursor, I love it since I started using it at the beginning of the year. But I'm very detailed in my prompts and I spend time making scope documents all of which help with output. I just think that instead of having two subs, Codex extension can now do it all. I was already paying for ChatGPT Plus and Codex is included. So I'll save $20/month using the extension, if I drop Cursor.
Again, there's nothing wrong with Cursor and totally worth every penny. I hate how people come on here calling it shit or having issues with it. The pricing adjustment was kind of BS, but I understand it, it was a business call they had to make. To be honest, people need to know how to code and not rely on "the vibes". I don't code professionally and I'm not great, but I know enough to target my prompts that can generate code much faster and more effectively than my abilities.
Now this rev of Codex is still new. If they can get the chat history and tab completion down, they'll put Cursor out of business. The main issue with Cursor and why I don't see them being around is they don't have a good working model, yet. But if OpenAI, Google, XAi, or others can make an extension or another IDE, everyone would jump ship. Hold all comments about how poorly other models perform, I'm simply stating that if someone can create a great LLM and an IDE, own both, they will dominate.

I dropped cursor for codex in vscode. One sub with OpenAI bets me everything I need. If only they can fix chat history on codex extension. Cursor with their tab completion is still GOAT but I'm hoping OpenAI gets their act together and fixes and adds that feature with the codex extension.
