I dropped cursor for the precise reason you mention: reliability.
Countless times my requests in the AI chat just hang there for 30+ seconds more until I can retry them.
When I decided to give Claude Code a try (I thought I didn't need it because I used Claude in Cursor) I couldn't believe how faster it was, and literally 100% reliable.
EDIT: given today's release, decided to give it a go. The Composer1 model _is_ fast, but right at the second new agent I started I got this:
