OP should really save their money. Cursor has a pretty generous free trail and is far from the holy grail.
I recently (in the last month) gave it a shot. I would say once in the maybe 30 or 40 times I used it did it save me any time. The one time it did I had each line filled in with pseudo code describing exactly what it should do… I just didn’t want to look up the APIs
I am glad it is saving you time but it’s far from a given. For some people and some projects, intern level work is unacceptable. For some people, managing is a waste of time.

This is no less true of statements made to the contrary. Yet they are stated strongly as if they are fact and apply to anyone beyond the user making them.
Ah to clarify I was not saying one shouldn’t try it at all — I was saying the free trail is plenty enough to see if it would be worth it to you.
I read the original comment as “pay $100 and just go for it!” which didn’t seem like the right way to do it. Other comments seem to indicate there are $100 dollars worth of credits that are claimable perhaps
One can evaluate LLMs sufficiently with the free trails that abound :) and indeed one may find them worth it to themselves. I don’t disparage anyone who signs up for the plans
