A CTO friend of mine introduced me to this back in March, and I haven't put it down since. It (and others like it, I know, Lovable, etc.) is one of those products that, you see the value almost immediately. I'm building an entire business for far less and in a much faster timeframe because this software exists. I have had some qualms with it, but honestly the team iterates on the software so quickly that most of my issues with it have been greatly reduced over the last 3-4 months. I'd love it if they could figure out how to make one project's agent speak to/ work with another project's agent. That would unlock so much more potential.

The best AI IDE I've ever tried. Cursor improved my development speed by 10x while maintaining excellent code quality. What really stands out is how it eliminates the constant back-and-forth with web-based AI apps. Everything happens directly in your editor, no more copying code snippets between browser tabs and your IDE. The AI generates high-quality, contextual code instantly without breaking your flow. The agentic features with terminal integration are incredible. Cursor can execute commands, manage dependencies, and handle deployment tasks autonomously. It's like having an AI developer pair who can actually interact with your entire development environment. I can't imagine what this will feel like with even better LLMs. We're probably looking at building production-ready, scalable apps in just a couple of weeks. The potential is mind-blowing.

Cursor AI is a pretty darn impressive code editor that's built on top of VSCode. The fact that it's a fork of VSCode gives it some serious superpowers when it comes to AI-assisted coding. The deep integration and control over low-level details allow Cursor to do things that regular VSCode extensions just can't match . One of the standout features is the Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) shortcut. It lets you edit code in place, understands the context of your file, and shows a handy diff view of the suggested changes. It's way more seamless than switching to a separate chat window . Cursor also plays nice with a bunch of AI models like GPT-4, Claude, and custom ones. You can even plug in your own API keys. Switching between models is a breeze with Ctrl+/ . The Copilot++ autocomplete is pretty smart too. It looks at your recent changes and surrounding code to give more accurate suggestions, can fix syntax errors, and even predict where you might want to edit next . Now, while Cursor is built on VSCode, that's also kind of its Achilles' heel. For certain programming languages, there are IDEs that are just way better suited. Like if you're doing Java development, something like JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA is going to be a better fit . But overall, Cursor is a solid 4 out of 5 stars in my book. The UI/UX is clean and the AI integration is top-notch . It's a great tool to have in your coding toolkit, especially if you're already a VSCode fan. Just keep in mind that for some specific language needs, a more specialized IDE might serve you better.

Cursor is a great interface for AI, and you don't even need to use it as your IDE. I prompt in Cursor, and make final edits in IntelliJ Idea. Cursor is still able to view my codebase and modify files

I started with Cursor and it was great early on, but as I gained more experience with AI-assisted development, the cracks showed. The recurring command window stall bug became frustrating, and the shifting pricing model—unlimited, then limited, then adjusted again—eroded trust. I want transparency and predictability in usage and cost. I need clear visibility into tokens or message limits so I know when I’m close to hitting a wall. Paying for unused capacity makes no sense. Lately, I’ve found the pay-per-token model in some open-source VS Code extensions to be a far better fit.

Cursor speeds up the coding workflow and feels like a stronger alternative to GitHub Copilot. It makes interacting with the codebase easier, improving both navigation and understanding. After trying it, you won’t want to go back

Cursor is an excellent AI-powered code editor that boosts productivity. The AI suggestions are context-aware and save significant development time. It integrates smoothly with existing workflows and supports multiple languages. Occasional latency in AI responses could be improved.

I never coded. I didn't understand Swift, I didn't understand Xcode. Cursor helped me built this from scratch within hours. Insane!

Embedding a language model right into the IDE has been very helpful for providing a little push for getting code working faster.

A fork of VS Code with deeply integrated AI features. More effective than anything I've tried so far, including GitHub Copilot and JetBrains AI. Coupled with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, it's like having a senior developer who knows pretty much everything, at your side at all times.
