Revolutionary for daily coding

Pros

Best-in-class code completion, multi-file editing, great codebase understanding, familiar VS Code interface

Cons

Can be resource-heavy, occasional lag with large projects, some VS Code extensions incompatible

Cursor has completely changed how I write code. The Tab completion is scarily accurate, and Composer mode lets me describe changes across multiple files. The codebase-aware chat means it actually understands my project.

Best coding AI tool, period

Pros

Composer for multi-file edits, inline Cmd+K editing, excellent model selection, Git integration

Cons

Pro pricing could be lower, sometimes picks wrong context files, learning curve for features

After trying every AI coding tool out there, Cursor is the clear winner. Composer is incredible for multi-file refactors. The inline editing with Cmd+K is seamless. Worth every penny of the Pro subscription.

Good but VS Code lock-in concerns me

Pros

Powerful AI features, fast completions, good model options, active development

Cons

VS Code fork concerns, expensive for teams, can break with VS Code updates

Cursor is technically impressive, but I'm uneasy about depending on a fork of VS Code. That said, the AI features are genuinely useful and save me hours each week. The quality of suggestions has improved significantly.
