AI-first code editor built on VS Code with deep codebase understanding and agentic editing.

Our Verdict

Cursor is what you get when the entire editor is designed around AI, and for agentic, multi-file changes it's ahead of the plugins. It understands your codebase in a way bolt-on tools can't. Heavy use burns through limits fast, and it can get a little too eager with edits.
