An AI-first code editor with multi-file edits and a genuinely autonomous agent mode.
A genuine step change for refactors and delegation — if you review its work like a pull request.
Cursor is a fork of VS Code that rebuilds the experience around AI. Describe a change and it edits across files, runs your tests and iterates — a genuinely new way to work, not autocomplete in disguise.
The agent mode is its killer feature, but it demands supervision: review every diff and keep tests green. It rewards developers who can already code more than beginners looking for a shortcut.
