This is odd to me. The X to Y pipeline is real if A, B, and C also align. It’s a weak correlation that sounds a lot like the “gateway drug” propaganda.
Signed up for Zed upon seeing this, signed in with GitHub, it failed instantly. Emailed support, they asked me to prove my ID because I was flagged as a bot. I immediately revoked access.

Cursor tends to bounce out of plan mode automatically and just start making changes (while still actually in plan mode). I also have to constantly remind it “YOU ARE IN PLAN MODE, do not write a plan yet, do not edit code”. It tends to write a full-on plan with one initial prompt instead of my preferred method of hashing out a full plan, details, etc… It definitely takes some heavy corralling and manual guardrails but I’ve had some success with it. Just keep very tight reins on your branches and be prepared to blow them away and start over on each one.
And half or more depending on the platform are foreign agents and/or bots to continue stirring shit up. It’s sadly too easy and the platforms themselves promote that engagement.
