Cursor in daily work: what remained after six months

The features I still use — and those that turned out to be little more than a good demo.

I use it for focused edits and fast iteration when I want to remain in control.

What works in practice

• Small focused edits pay off more often than large generations.
• Open-file context still matters more than magical rules.
• Autocomplete is useful until it changes the direction of thought.
• Larger tasks are better handed to a separate agent.

Where the boundary is

If suggestions are accepted automatically, typing speed grows faster than decision quality.
