My experience mirrors this exactly. I loved WebStorm, but I can't use it anymore because Cursor is just a massive productivity booster for things like what you're describing.

Claude 3.5 + Cursor has fundamentally improved my productivity. It's worth the 20 dollars a month.

I've written thousands of lines of Vitest tests with it, and they have come out near perfect. It would have taken me days to write those tests by hand, but now I can just generate them and review each to make sure it works.

Intellij will have it's lunch eaten if it doesn't pursue the Cursor/Windsurf editing modality.
