I think you're downplaying how well Cursor is doing "code generation" relative to other products.

Cursor can do at least the following "actions":

* code generation

* file creation / deletion

* run terminal commands

* answer questions about a code base

I totally agree with you on ETL (it's a huge part of our product https://www.definite.app/), but the actions an agent takes are just as tricky to get right.

Before I give Cursor, I often doubt it's going to be able to pull it off and I constantly impressed by how deep it can go to complete a complex task.
