Cursor is a code editor built from the ground up around AI. Forked from VS Code so the interface is familiar, but every feature is designed for AI-assisted development — inline code generation, multi-file editing, codebase-wide chat, and automatic context gathering. It has become the default editor for many developers who want AI integrated at the editor level rather than as a separate tool.
Key features
- AI-powered code completion with full codebase context
- Multi-file editing from natural language instructions
- Inline diff view for reviewing AI suggestions
- Codebase-wide chat — ask questions about your entire project
- VS Code compatible — extensions, keybindings, and themes carry over
- Multiple model support (Claude, GPT-4, etc.)
Best for
- Developers who want AI in their editor, not a separate tool
- Teams transitioning from VS Code to AI-assisted development
- Frontend and full-stack projects with many files
- Developers who prefer visual editing over terminal workflows
Limitations
- Subscription required for the best model access
- Can be slower than terminal-based tools for large operations
- Some developers find the AI suggestions distracting
