Cursor took VS Code's foundation and asked: what if AI wasn't a sidebar chatbot but a genuine collaborator in the editing experience? The result is the most convincing AI-native development environment yet. Tab completion feels psychic. The inline diff view for AI suggestions is elegant. Cmd+K for code generation hits the sweet spot between automation and control. Built on VS Code means the extension ecosystem just works. This is what GitHub Copilot wants to be when it grows up.
What earns the score
- +AI integration feels native to the editing flow
- +Tab completion accuracy is remarkably high
- +Inline diff view for AI changes builds trust
- +VS Code foundation means instant extension compatibility
- +Cmd+K code generation balances automation and control
What holds it back
- –Subscription pricing feels steep for individual developers
- –AI costs can be unpredictable with heavy usage
- –Occasional AI hallucinations in code suggestions
- –Settings diverge from VS Code in confusing ways
