About Cursor

Cursor is a fork of VS Code that deeply integrates AI into every part of the coding experience. It offers inline code generation, multi-file editing via its Composer feature, and a chat interface for asking questions about your codebase. Cursor supports multiple AI models including GPT-4, Claude, and its own fine-tuned models. Its Tab completion feature predicts your next edit, and Composer can make coordinated changes across multiple files from a single prompt. It has quickly become one of the most popular AI coding tools, especially in the vibe coding community where rapid prototyping is valued.

Pros

  • Familiar VS Code interface — easy to switch
  • Excellent codebase-aware context with @-mentions
  • Fast Tab completion predicts next edits
Cons
  • Free tier is limited (2000 completions/month)
  • Can be resource-heavy on older machines
  • Proprietary — not open source
