Visual Studio and VS Code have an AI assistant as well, yet we don’t decree all programs written with them as ‘vibe coding’. The presence of an AI assistant in the IDE isn’t evidence of vibe coding.
Proton’s repo here is open source. What portion of it presents issues? Any?
I think the difference here is cursor is a fork of VS code that is specifically dedicated to AI based workflows. Which means it's highly likely, although not guaranteed, that AI is being used as opposed to the other options you mentioned which are very popular IDEs where AI is a secondary feature that might not even be enabled. That being said I don't think there's anything wrong with using AI with oversight, what I do see as a problem is the fact that in the face of criticism they went and hid the evidence. That's terrifying for a privacy focused organization to do.
