If you had read more attentively, he uninstalled Cursive because he suspected a reinstall might fix an error. However, the error was caused because in Cursive, an extra step is necessary configuring the project to make gen-class work in certain situations, so the unistall was unnecessary.
When reinstalling, he added the wrong update site version when installing the plugin, which is why Cursive didn't work. Fixing the update link fixed Cursive. So no problems were caused by Cursive or IntelliJ, just two misconfigurations.
