Well now I might as well be in ChatGPT, and that’s not going to get Cursor its $600m return is it?

(Because this is what I actually do. I go there, ask a question, absorb the result, transfer to my code.)

Yeah, I'm not seeing how a souped up VS Code plugin needs or is going to turn around a 60M investment TBH. Not a slight against the product, it's decent, but I think that round is about an order of magnitude too large for the scale of the app.
