Cursor

Overview

Cursor is a VS Code-based AI editor that understands your whole codebase, supporting multi-file edits, chat-driven refactoring and smart completion. Tab completion predicts your next action from codebase context; the Chat panel takes natural language; Composer mode modifies multiple files at once. Free: 2,000 completions + 50 premium requests; Pro ($20/mo): unlimited completions + 500 premium. Best for professional developers' daily coding. Strengths: strongest codebase-level understanding in the industry, Tab completion accuracy far exceeds Copilot. Weaknesses: pricing on the higher end; enterprise ($40/mo) required for privacy mode.
