i love cursor so much. just built tool for a very obscure problem that i have. took less than an hour. and most of the time went into figuring out google cloud oauth

Stuff like that is where I get the most value out of LLMs + Cursor (I use Continue, but essentially same exp). Just mind numbing glue crap, or not knowing how to set up the configuration for a client of some web service. Reduces friction to so many things that would make problems otherwise seem unattractive.

exactly!

how is Continue compared to Cursor?

I switched off Cursor a few months ago (maybe 2?) so I may be a little outdated, but it was identical for the core features of "edit selection" and "chat with context"! Really enjoy it and I don't feel about about using it with my own API keys.

Primarily just that it's an open source plugin with an "enterprise" product business model. Pretty neat! Forgot to mention it has support for tab completion, too, but I've never liked that.
