To be honest, cursor's smart edits and codebase chat are clutch, but on bigger repos it thinks for waaaaay to long. The inline fixes and tests are nice and the agent "explaining" while it works is really useful, but I still bailed before a multi file refactor finished. It's extremely good, just needs more speed
This is a legit superpower. It reads your repo, chats inline to refactor/fix/write tests and drops diffs and PR text so you stay in flow. Not flawless, but the speed boost and fewer context switches make it an easy 5/5 for devs.
A speedy helper for testing, generates solid Jest/Playwright starters and updates specs with refractors but you still need to run them and fix the flaky bits.
AI-native IDE that actually ships, senior-dev-grade tab completions, useful agents/bugbot, totally worth if you code daily. :D
0 support, double billed me for 3 or 4 months. I reached out several times on multiple platforms and was ignored,just cancelled.
I have used it for a while now and it works really well with regular updates. Certainly something I can recommend trying out as importing settings from vscode is really easy so the transition doesn't take longer than 5 minutes.
Based on VSCodium/VSCode. It looks like AI related options are well integrated throughout the IDE (after few hours of using it).

Old text : This guide provides the latest facts, figures, and forecasts about the electric vehicle and EV charging market and its predicted growth for 2026 and beyond. The global electric car market share has taken a tremendous leap forward in the past decade, and we expect the trend to accelerate in coming years. In many countries, EVs are becoming mass-market products. Despite concerns about the industry's growth pace, global sales data prove we've only scratched the surface. Chapter 1 Historical EV market data To understand the current electric vehicle industry situation, let's examine the past few years. 2020 showed no significant growth in overall new car registrations. The global car market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. Amid the pandemic, the electric vehicle growth outlook was unpredictable at year's start. However, 2020 proved surprisingly positive, with global EV sales growing 43% from 2019 and the global electric car market share rising to a record 4.6%. 2021 was a major leap forward for electric vehicle sales, doubling from 2020 to 6.75 million. The number of EVs sold weekly in 2021 exceeded total 2012 sales. 2022 broke records with EV sales exceeding 10 million, resulting in more than 26 million electric cars on global roads, representing 60% growth from 2021. Driven by decarbonization challenges and supported by various policies and incentives, global EV sales accelerated in 2023. According to the IEA, global electric car sales reached almost 14 million, representing 35% growth from 2022. This growth meant the global electric fleet rose to 40 million in 2023.

This prompt conditions the language model to take on a fixed, evaluation-focused task: reviewing product ideas, feature lists, or roadmaps with an objective and structured mindset. The prompt does not assign a new personality or style to the model. It keeps its default voice while taking on a specific function: strategic product evaluation.
When given user input, the model will:
1.Parse the structure and intent of the product idea or roadmap
2.Identify parts that may be unclear, redundant, unnecessary, or misaligned with product goals
3.Avoid vague affirmations or surface-level commentary
4.Offer suggestions for simplification, prioritization, or removal based on clarity and value
5.Propose a revised or summarized version of the product direction, only when appropriate
The model is explicitly instructed to:
1.Avoid overstepping the request
2.Refrain from adding new features unless asked
3.Keep feedback practical, objective and grounded
4.Provide explanations when calling out weak areas
The prompt enforces a low-variance response style by using deterministic verbs like "review", "highlight", "explain" and "suggest". It uses no emotional language and it prohibits roleplay or tone shifts. The result is a focused analysis designed for clarity, minimalism and productive revision of product ideas.
Copy
Take on the task of evaluating product concepts, feature plans, or roadmaps. Review the input with an objective and structured mindset. Your goal is to identify parts that may lack clear value, introduce avoidable complexity, or do not align directly with the core goals of the product. Provide specific feedback on how to improve the plan. Highlight items that should be prioritized, simplified, removed, or clarified. If anything seems vague, redundant, or misaligned, explain why in clear terms. Offer a revised version or a summarized path that reflects better focus and impact. Make your suggestions actionable and easy to follow. Remain consistent in tone and structure. Keep your default personality and communication style. Do not take on a new role. User input: **Here** (if any)
Product Concept Evaluation: Electric Cars Sales Current Input Analysis Your input "electric cars sales" combined with the comprehensive market research document reveals a well-researched but unfocused approach to entering the electric vehicle market. The document provides excellent market intelligence but lacks a clear, actionable business strategy. Key Issues Identified 1. Lack of Clear Value Proposition The document is purely informational without defining your specific business opportunity No differentiation strategy from existing players (Tesla, Ford, GM, etc.) Missing unique selling proposition or competitive advantage No clear target customer segment defined 2. Excessive Complexity Without Focus Attempting to cover the entire EV ecosystem (passenger cars, trucks, buses, charging infrastructure) No prioritization of which market segment to enter first Missing resource assessment and realistic scope definition No clear business model or revenue strategy 3. Misaligned with Core Goals The document focuses on market analysis rather than business strategy No clear success metrics or KPIs defined Missing realistic timeline and milestone planning No risk assessment or mitigation strategies Specific Feedback Prioritize: Define your specific role in the EV ecosystem (manufacturer, dealer, service provider, etc.) Identify your target customer segment and their specific needs Choose one market entry point (e.g., used EV sales, EV charging services, specific vehicle type) Establish clear competitive advantages and differentiation Simplify: Focus on one specific business model rather than the entire EV industry Define a minimum viable product or service offering Start with a single market segment or geographic region Establish clear resource constraints and realistic goals Remove: The broad scope covering all EV types and markets Assumptions about competing directly with established manufacturers Unrealistic expectations about market penetration Features or services not directly tied to your core value proposition Clarify: Your specific expertise and resources available Target market size and accessibility Realistic timeline and funding requirements Go-to-market strategy and distribution channels Revised Concept Path Option 1: Used Electric Vehicle Sales Target: Budget-conscious consumers who want EVs but can't afford new models Value: Access to affordable electric vehicles with warranty and support Differentiator: Specialized EV knowledge, battery health assessment, charging infrastructure support Success Metric: 100 used EVs sold in first year with 90% customer satisfaction Option 2: EV Charging Infrastructure Services Target: Small businesses and residential complexes needing charging solutions Value: Turnkey charging installation and management services Differentiator: Local expertise, ongoing maintenance, smart charging optimization Success Metric: 50 charging installations completed in first year Option 3: EV Fleet Consulting Services Target: Small to medium businesses transitioning to electric fleets Value: Expertise in fleet electrification planning and implementation Differentiator: Specialized knowledge of local incentives and infrastructure Success Metric: 20 fleet conversion projects completed in first year Actionable Next Steps Month 1-2: Business Model Definition Choose one specific business model from the options above Define your target customer and their pain points Research local competition and identify gaps Establish realistic resource requirements Month 3-4: Market Validation Conduct customer interviews and surveys Test your value proposition with potential customers Validate pricing and business model assumptions Refine your offering based on feedback Month 5-6: Pilot Launch Launch a small-scale pilot program Test your processes and systems Gather customer feedback and iterate Establish key performance indicators Critical Questions to Answer Business Model: What specific role will you play in the EV ecosystem? Target Market: Which customer segment has unmet needs you can address? Competition: How will you differentiate from existing players? Resources: What expertise, capital, and partnerships do you need? Timeline: What is a realistic timeline for market entry and profitability? Risk Assessment High Risk Areas: Competing directly with established automakers without clear differentiation Underestimating capital requirements for EV-related businesses Missing regulatory compliance requirements Overestimating market demand without validation Mitigation Strategies: Focus on a specific niche with clear unmet needs Start with service-based models requiring less capital Partner with established players rather than competing directly Validate market demand through customer research and pilots Market Opportunity Analysis Based on the research document, the most promising opportunities are: Used EV Market: Growing rapidly with increasing EV adoption Charging Infrastructure: Significant government support and growing demand Fleet Services: Corporate commitments driving demand Regional Markets: Emerging markets showing strong growth potential The document provides excellent market intelligence, but you need to translate this into a focused, actionable business strategy. Success in the EV market requires specialization and clear differentiation rather than trying to compete across the entire ecosystem.
