Cursor: a VS Code extension that got itself valued at $10bn.

The 1 million users + $200 million in revenue probably had something to do with the valuation.

Slack was a similar thing. IPO'd at 10 million users with 400M in revenue but got destroyed by Microsoft thanks to Teams.

Cursor is at a worse position and at greater risk of ending up like Slack very quickly and Microsoft will do the exact same thing they did to Slack.

This time by extinguishing (EEE) them by racing prices of VSCode + Copilot close to zero, until it is free.

The best thing Cursor should do is for OpenAI to buy them at a $10B valuation.

Wait, what?! Slack got destroyed by Teams? You seem to be living a few parallel universes away from the one I'm in.

Teams has 8 times the monthly active users.
