Reviewers largely see Cursor as a strong daily coding tool because its AI is tightly built into the editor, understands the broader codebase, handles multi-file changes, and cuts context switching, which helps both experienced developers and some non-coders move faster on debugging, refactoring, prototyping, and shipping.

also praise its VS Code compatibility and diff-review workflow, but note that agent output can be verbose, weaker on complex tasks, and sometimes slow. The main recurring complaints are unstable performance, high or unclear pricing, and occasional context misses in larger projects.

Cursor's AI-powered code completions and inline chat made building a full-stack app (Flutter + Next.js + Firebase) significantly faster. The contextual understanding of the codebase across multiple languages was a game-changer for a solo developer shipping across platforms.

to build Ziva.sh instead of Windsurf, Github Copilot, and others

There's so many existing AI code generators, but none of them specialize in the world of game engines. Creating scenes, editing resources, and interactive debugging - being inspired by these and taking them to the next step is what makes Ziva great!
