I know this is not always true. But the same people who like cursor still are the same people who are less familiar with the terminal.

And I don't know what it is but it feels the less familiar you are with a terminal, the less skilled you tend to be.

Definitely not a 100% case. But has been common in my experience

Opposite. The weakest engineers trust CC or codex, stopped reviewing the code and push slop PRs. Those still acting in the loop move faster with better architecture and coding patterns and aren't losing their skills.

You must be a joy to work with.

I don’t think mapping tooling to ability makes sense here, particularly when the “advanced” tools here just abstract more away, though I agree that Cursor is terrible. So many useless windows.

I hate to be the one to break it to you but the weakest engineers are going to be producing just as much value
