I canceled my Cursor subscription today. It has felt for a while that they stopped building for the way I want to work with AI. Then the bugs keep getting worse, and the SpaceX acquisition doesn't give me a lot of hope that things will get better. I spent yesterday using VSCodium and my homebrew agent orchestration system in tmux. I also tried emdash (https://emdash.ai/), and retried Archon (https://github.com/coleam00/Archon). I'm still feeling like small agent swarms with a mixture of models that pass work between themselves is the sovereign AI stack of the future. The manager of the swarm can paper over a lot of the small issues with LLMs. Plug in whatever cheap source of tokens you can find, mix in local models if you want, your interface stays the same. Put it all in a decent sandbox and dangerously skip permissions.
