Cursor

Cursor is an AI-native code editor built as a fork of VS Code, designed from the ground up to make AI a first-class participant in the development process rather than an afterthought. Its flagship feature, Composer, enables multi-file editing through natural language — describe a change and Cursor modifies multiple files simultaneously while maintaining consistency across your codebase. The Tab completion system goes beyond simple autocomplete, predicting your next edit based on recent changes and cursor position across the entire project. Cursor supports multiple AI models including GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and its own fine-tuned models, letting developers choose the best model for each task. The Cmd+K inline editing feature allows targeted modifications to selected code blocks with natural language instructions. Because Cursor is a VS Code fork, it supports all VS Code extensions, themes, and keybindings, making migration nearly frictionless for existing VS Code users. The free Hobby plan includes 2,000 completions and 50 slow premium requests, while the $20/month Pro plan offers unlimited completions, 500 fast premium requests, and 10 daily o1-mini uses. Cursor has rapidly gained adoption among developers who want the deepest possible AI integration in their coding workflow and are willing to switch editors for the advantage.
