Cursor
FeaturedAI-first code editor built on VS Code with powerful multi-file editing and agentic capabilities.
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.
