What is Cursor?
Cursor is a fork of VS Code with AI built into the editing loop rather than added as a sidebar. It can answer questions about the repository, apply multi-file edits and explain unfamiliar code, which shortens the slowest part of most technical work.
Pros
- Keeps VS Code extensions and shortcuts
- Understands context across files
- Fast at repetitive refactors
Cons
- Heavy usage needs a paid plan
- Generated code still requires review
Who should use Cursor
Developers and technical builders who ship code daily.
Who may not need it
Non-technical users with no code to write.
