I replaced Cursor with a free IDE that does everything Cursor does

Like a lot of developers lately, my first taste of AI-assisted coding came through tools like Lovable and Bolt, where you describe what you want and watch the agent build it for you. When I eventually moved to Cursor, it felt powerful, but also like a step backward in some ways. The workflow was more editor-first, less conversation-first, and I kept missing that fluid back-and-forth I had gotten used to.
