What did you expect? Braun didn't design any cars.

This is a really great way to get yourself worse care.

any IDE you like and Claude code - i have no idea why you'd want to use something like Cursor, it's time came and went.

Why?

Maybe it’s allowed because they built the ability to direct the costs to your extra usage budget, not your monthly subscription?

Google has one of the worst commercial UX of any products I've ever used.

Haven’t found it yet. The component parts seems to be close. Opus is much better at drawing SVG than it used to be.

To be fair, i did not ask for a logo with a pelican in it.

My feedback for whatever it's worth as a 25yr design veteran.

* Massive token usage, some small tasks burned through $50 of credits and did not offer $50 of value.

* Terrible at logo work. Comically bad. This is something that is "hard" so it could add great value if it could deliver.

* Repeatedly forgot prior feedback - when iterating it would re-implement prior iterations after being told why we didn't want that result which made for a very frustrating UX.

* Prone to adding visual clutter - kept adding extra elements that look "pretty" but add no value to the user.

* Seems better at "pretty" vs user focused / UX.

* Did not do a good job at using my existing design / UI library

* REALLY wanted to start from scratch. Could not be coaxed into designing part of an application, it wanted to redesign the whole thing.
