Why would you use Cursor instead of VS (the standard for decades) if you’re not going to use the AI features Cursor was specifically created for?

You are buying a bicycle online.

Both are the same price, but one is handmade by a skilled professional with decades of experience, the other is made by a sketchy machine that even it’s creators don’t really understand… and sometimes uses square wheels instead of round.

Your choice.

Ok, but VS has been around MUCH longer and has been widely used long before any AI features were added. People who have been using VS for years, aren’t likely to just switch, especially in professional environments where VS has largely dominated.

Cursor OTOH, was specifically made to leverage AI. You don’t just start using Cursor.
