You are over-estimating the sophistication of their platform and infrastructure. Everyone was talking about Cursor (or maybe was it astroturfing?) but once I checked it out, it was not far from avante on neovim.

Cursor isn't designed to do long running tasks. As someone mentioned in another comment it's closer to a function call than a process like Devin.

It will only do one task at a time that it's asked to do.

    ...for now.

    They are pushing in this direction with the Composer Agent mode which can carry out a sequence of multi-file changes without you having to specify the files. It's pretty decent. If you're feeling brave there is also a beta "YOLO" mode that will auto approve these changes and run console commands.
