As of ~6 hours ago, the "C# Dev Kit" and "C/C++" extensions no longer work in Cursor.

Error message: "The C# Dev Kit extension may be used only with Microsoft Visual Studio Code and other Microsoft affiliates' products."

Why I think this matters:

Yes, Microsoft's license does explicitly state that its extensions (and the entire VSCode plugin registry, really) are for use in VSCode only. So technically, this move is within their rights.

Cursor has likely been using a workaround to access MS's extension catalog. But now it looks like Microsoft is enforcing those restrictions — at least for C# Dev Kit.

What worries me is whether this is just a one-off... or if Microsoft is testing the waters and might start blocking other key extensions (TypeScript, Python, etc.) or even ban Cursor entirely from the registry.

PS:

It’s kinda wild that Cursor — a well-funded company directly competing with MS (re: Copilot) — is relying on Microsoft’s infrastructure in a way that’s clearly against the TOS. They’re basically operating with an axe hanging over their head.

I made this simple game where you can test to see how fast you can type different command line commands. I always find myself rushing to type them for fun, so why not turn this to a game?

There's a leader board for each command and all, and this is just a fun little side project I made. Hope you enjoy.
