Cursor is trapped in a cat and mouse game against "hacks" where users create new accounts and get unlimited use. The repo was even trending on Github (https://github.com/yeongpin/cursor-free-vip).

Sadly, Cursor will always be hampered by maintaining it's own VSCode fork. Others in this niche are expanding rapidly and I, myself, have started transitioning to using Roo and Cline.

What I don't understand is why maintain a fork instead of just an extension? I would assume an extension like this would be pretty difficult to create but would it be more difficult than literally forking VSCode?
