Not your fault at all, but there is a ton of precedent to be skeptical that these pronouncements end up being accurate.

The biggest challenge is that an acquisition like this makes relying on the acquired product a giant risk for us, so our general policy is to stop relying on something once it gets acquired and try to migrate to something else, because it's just way too disruptive to find out a year later it's getting sunsetted and then have a shorter timeline to migrate off.

It's happened so many times that it's just part of how we do business, unfortunately.

I've seen big companies cleave off tens of millions of profitable products on a whim pretty often....

Obviously what you need to say but the reality is that you’re not in control anymore. That’s what an acquisition is.

If Cursor wants to re-allocate resources or merge Graphite into to editor or stagnate development and use it as a marketing/lead gen channel, it will for the business.

Anything said at time of acquisition isn’t trustworthy. Not because people are lying at the time (I don’t think you are!) but because these deals give up leverage and control explicitly. If they only wanted tighter integration, they could fund that via equity investment or staffing engineers (+/- paying Graphite to do the same.) Companies acquire for a reason and it isn’t to let the team + product stay independent
