Of course. Are they useful enough though for people to install an entirely new software?

    Since installing entirely new software is just downloading Cursor.AppImage from the official website and double-clicking on it, it's not a large hassle for most users.

    If you're on Arch, there's even an AUR package, so it's even less steps than that.

      appImage is useless for development since it only has access to globally installed development tools and environments.

        That's not true.

        AppImages aren't sandboxed and they can access the rest of the system just fine. After all, they're just a regular SquashFS directory that get mounted into a /tmp mount and then executed from there.

          So you're saying that the Cursor appImage is done poorly? I'd believe that.

    Cursor itself is making 200 million a year now so I presume yes.
