Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built on the VS Code foundation and aimed at people who want their daily coding environment to think with them. It combines familiar editing with multi-file agents, inline edit, repository-aware chat, and tab completions that understand project structure rather than only the open buffer. Teams adopt it when they want agentic refactors and feature work without leaving the editor. Extension compatibility keeps most existing VS Code workflows intact while the product ships rapid model and agent improvements. Pricing is freemium with paid plans for heavier agent and premium model usage. For limited launch it is the incumbent reference point for the coding-agent decision: if you are choosing a daily AI coding environment, Cursor is the surface everyone else is measured against.
