About
Cursor is a fork of VS Code designed specifically for AI-assisted development. It integrates deeply with LLMs to provide code generation, editing, and chat directly in your editor. Features include Cmd+K for inline editing, Chat for multi-file changes, and Composer for building entire features from scratch.
✓ Pros
- Deep VS Code compatibility - all extensions work
- Excellent inline editing (Cmd+K)
- Composer builds whole features automatically
- Privacy mode for sensitive code
✗ Cons
- Pro tier required for best models
- Can be slower than vanilla VS Code
Our Verdict
Best-in-class for AI-native development. If you write code daily, the Pro tier pays for itself in hours saved.
