Anysphere Reviews & Product Details

Honestly the context-awareness is what sold me. Most autocomplete tools just guess based on the current file, but Cursor actually indexes the whole repo, so suggestions feel like they come from someone who's read the code, not just skimmed it. Since it's built on VS Code, I didn't have to relearn anything — my keybindings, extensions, settings, all of it just worked from day one, which honestly saved me a whole afternoon of setup pain.

The Composer/Agent stuff is where it really shines though. I'm currently building a React frontend for a foundation that's wired into Zoho CRM, Catalyst, Analytics, and their Zia agents, so a lot of my day is spent stitching together custom API wrappers, type definitions for CRM record shapes, and handling responses coming back from Catalyst functions. That kind of glue code used to be tedious — touch a schema, then remember to update the Catalyst function, then the API call, then the component consuming it. Cursor tracks that chain across files pretty reliably now, so I just describe the change and it handles most of the ripple effect. Being able to flip between Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o depending on what I'm doing (quick edits vs. gnarlier logic) has also been a nice bonus I didn't expect to lean on as much as I do.

If your repo is on the bigger side, the local indexing can chew through RAM and CPU more than you'd like — I've had my fans kick on just from it indexing in the background. Premium fast requests also get rate-limited during busy hours on the Pro plan, so occasionally I'm stuck in the standard queue or reaching for my own API key to get around it. And for anything outside typical web-stack territory — in my case some of the more niche Catalyst/ Zoho-specific configs — it'll sometimes confidently hallucinate something that looks right but isn't, so I still double-check that stuff by hand rather than trusting it blindly.

I have been using Cursor from Anysphere for quite a long time now. It has been my go-to IDE for coding, and I love its overall UI. I migrated from VS Code, and I was able to sync my entire workflow from VS Code to Cursor easily. The AI-integrated workflow has been a life-changer for me. I use it regularly for building small tasks as well as tasks that are complex. Besides code generation and completion, I use the Cursor AI agent to understand the unfamiliar codebase and give me proper context for it. Overall, using Cursor from Anyshphere has drastically increased my productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything to dislike about AnySphere as it has provided great value in my daily development workflow. That said, when working with a large codebase, I find Cursor a bit more resource-intensive than Claude Code or Antigravity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I spend a lot of time debugging services, I review PR's and working across different parts of the codebase. Cursor helps me get the context faster and often points me in the right direction without having to look thoroughly into the files. It's especially useful when I return to my existing code that I haven't worked on in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many times it's too confident even when it's missing some business context. I have also noticed that the suggestions become less reliable when logic spans multiple services and depends heavily on domain-specific requirements. But I still review important changes myself. For senior-level work, it's a helpful assistance rather than a source of truth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is that Cursor feels like a VS Code fork that actually gets out of your way, while still being genuinely smarter about your codebase. The tab autocomplete is the killer feature for me: it predicts multi-line edits and even anticipates where you’ll jump next, which makes everyday coding noticeably faster. Agent Mode is where it really stands out; I can say something like, “add rate limiting to the API routes,” and it plans the changes, edits multiple files, runs the tests, and fixes what breaks—all in one go. The diff view is clean, so I can see exactly what changed before accepting it, and because it’s built on VS Code, all my existing extensions and keybindings just work. It’s the first AI editor where I don’t feel like I’m fighting the tool to do what I actually want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that it feels opinionated about how you should work. The agent mode pushes you toward a “describe the task and let it do everything” approach, but I still want to write most of my code myself and only use AI for targeted edits. The tab autocomplete also gets in the way at times, suggesting completions I didn’t ask for and interrupting my flow. Context handling on monorepos is weak. It struggles to understand cross-package dependencies, so I often end up manually pasting relevant files into the chat to get it on the same page. On top of that, the Electron-based UI feels heavier than plain VS Code, especially when I have large workspaces open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use their tool, Cursor, heavily. It works pretty well and has some of the best AI features I’ve tried. Beyond the AI features, the UI/UX is solid, and the community support has been great. It’s also cheap compared with other competitors, and it’s very fast, with multiple integrations that connect smoothly with the existing tools we use daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are quite a few things like :

1. sometimes the agent makes the changes that look correct but does not get the full context.

2. Large tasks are difficult to solve in a go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is how much easier it makes working with AI assisted development without adding unnecessary complexity. I praticularly like that the experience feels integrated into the actual workflow rather than having to constantly switch between different tools to get help with the code, troubleshoot an issue, or undestandan unfamiliar part of a project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I find frustrating is that the AI can sometimes be a little too confident with its suggestions, esp when working with a larger or more complex project. There have been times when a proposed change looked right initially but needed additional checking because it didn't fully acccount for the wider context Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Cursor's ability to look across the project when I am trying to understand a change or trace an issue. I can ask a question, inspect the relevant files and try a small fix in the same place. That makes it easier for me to get involved in product work without spending so much time finding the right starting point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still have to check the changes carefully. When a request involves several files, Cursor can make a wider edit than I had in mind or miss a project-specific rule. A clearer way to keep it focused on a small change would make the review step easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spear’s Cursor product has genuinely helped me. It’s helped our team reduce development time and iterate more quickly. It has also lowered our software costs and enabled the team to move faster overall—generating results sooner, iterating rapidly, and exploring new ideas with less friction.

For complete beginners, the interface may feel a bit too complex, and navigating around it can also be confusing at first. However, once you get used to it, it becomes easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it helps me code faster, especially when I'm stuck on something. It suggests the next lines of code automatically and most of the time it's actually correct, so I don't have to search on Google or Stack Overflow as much. It also understands my whole project, so if I'm working on one file, it still gives suggestions that make sense with my other files too. As a student, this saves me a lot of time on assignments and projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it gives suggestions that look correct but actually have small bugs, so I still have to double-check the code before using it. Also the free version has limits, so if I use it a lot in a day, I run out of the free suggestions and have to wait or think about upgrading, which is a bit annoying as a student on a budget Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Anysphere because it is easy to use, reliable and it helps me work more efficiently.

the interface that makes daily work simple and efficient and it helps to improve my productivity and saves my valuable time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More customization options and smoother performance would make the overall experience better. I also run into occasional performance issues, and they can disrupt my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
