Our Review

Cursor has rapidly become the preferred code editor for AI-assisted development. Unlike Copilot which adds AI to an existing editor, Cursor is built from the ground up around AI. The ability to chat with your entire codebase and make multi-file edits simultaneously is genuinely transformative. At $20/month, it is expensive but the productivity gains justify the cost for professional developers.
