The licenses for the Microsoft extensions explicity don't let you use them in non-MS editors. They seem to be cracking down now.

To be fair, Copilot came before Cursor and the "agent mode" isn't a Cursor specific feature.

I use Cursor every day but I'm more than happy to switch if a better tool exists.

I'm personally wait for the JetBrains equivalent to cursor: https://www.jetbrains.com/junie/

I've had problems with pylance and auto complete on Cursor for months for (what I think is) the same reason - so I'm not sure the crackdown has only started in the last couple days

best move is to switch to based-pyright
