AI-native code editor built on VS Code. Features inline AI code generation, multi-file editing, codebase-aware chat, and intelligent autocomplete.
Our take
Cursor is the most impressive AI-powered code editor available. Built on VS Code (so the learning curve is minimal), it adds AI features that genuinely change how you write code — multi-file editing, codebase-aware suggestions, and natural language code generation. The Tab completion is eerily good at predicting what you want to type next. At $20/month for Pro, it's a bargain for professional developers. The limitation is that it's a desktop app, not a cloud IDE, and AI suggestions occasionally hallucinate APIs that don't exist. For developers, Cursor is the highest-impact AI tool you can adopt today.
