Cursor 3 Turned My IDE Into a Management Dashboard. I'm Not Sure I Asked for That.

Cursor 3 was released on April 2 and replaces the default editor with an agents sidebar that manages multiple AI agents.

The Agents Window lets users run local, cloud, and cross-repo agents and move tasks between environments.

The update expands plugin integrations and offers Pro ($20/mo) and Ultra ($200/mo) tiers that scale usage with agent activity.

Critics on forums complained the new review workflow hijacks commit processes, and the change shifts developer work from coding to supervising agents.
