honestly ive pulled this exact move as a pm and regretted it. we hid a fee breakdown once cause the page looked scary, thought fewer surprises would help. churn went up instead, users felt tricked the second they found the real number somewhere else.
dev-tool folks reverse-engineer your csv anyway tbh, so hiding cost just burns trust. dont think theres a clean fix but opacity bit us every time.

Hiding pricing is always a negative to the customer

Small thing but makes a big difference

I was an early and passionate adopter and paying customer of Cursor (since 2023!), but it’s probably been 6 months since I opened it.
These days I “write” code with claude code and codex, and read/review it on GitHub. If I need to read it locally, I use a plain text editor.
Can someone help me understand what value cursor offers in 2026?

Recently they also seem to have made big changes that makes Cursor worse for editing code by hand. I'm not sure what they are trying to do, but it doesn't feel like vscode fork anymore.
I'm starting to consider alternatives.
