Cursor 3 looks more like Codex. That fits better with the modern workflow I recently described on this blog.
Instead of spending hours in deep focus on a single project, I'm now constantly switching between tasks that run in different contexts, executed by agents. Cursor 3 and Codex offer exactly the orchestration overview you need for that. Instead of ten heavy VSCode windows that contain features you no longer really need, you have one small screen with all your agent threads.
Running tasks in parallel is easier and clearer, and my old MacBook has an easier time with one lightweight window compared to all those VSCode instances.
