Our Review

Cursor is a fork of VS Code with deeply integrated AI assistance. It offers Tab completion, inline chat, multi-file edits, and codebase-aware context. The AI understands your entire project, not just the open file. Best-in-class for serious developers who want AI pair programming without leaving their editor.
