Structure vs no-structure

December 5, 2024

I'm trying to use Cursor, as it is supposed to be awesome. Recently I had a simple request: Find the version of TypeScript I was using. So I opened the VSCode settings: Cursor Settings

And searched for TypeScript: Cursor Settings 2

Every time I try to do anything in the VSCode settings I become disoriented. The sheer amount of settings overwhelms me every time. Contrast this to the structure in the PyCharm (which includes WebStorm) settings: WebStorm Settings

As an extra bonus, it highlights the word that you searched. Making it super obvious why this is a result for the query: WebStorm Settings 2

I would love to use Cursor as a daily driver, but so far I've been struggling with the fact that it is VSCode in the end.
