Cursor.sh Reviews & Product Details

I like about the cursor that it understand the broader project context which helps me align the documentation with actual development changes instead of blindly creating the content. cursor lets me validate the updates and maintain the consistency. Also it stay in control of the final content. Works faster and create longer content for the release changes.

Cursor helps me compare the suggested changes and generated content with my existing content using the clear diff view, which makes it easy to review like what has changed and decide what to keep before applying updates. I like the most about cursor is that it is not just a developer editor but it really works well as documentation content creation tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a technical writer one thing i dislike about cursor is that it is still very developer centric by design. It really work well for documentation but many features and workflows are clearly optimized for developers code.

Diff view is helpful but while reviewing the larger documentation changes can still feel a bit heavy compared to other documentation tools.

Sometimes it creates content like developer notes we have to provide command to create custome facing content each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The agentic workflow it enables, along with the clean UX/UI and the plugins they’ve added recently, is honestly a lifesaver. Having it in the cloud and watching it deliver a full end-to-end test demo is kind of insane.I use this as it's subagents and everything is just out of league for any other IDE.

Pricing is so absurd. I’m a pro user, and after just a few prompts my monthly quota is already gone. Given how much development I do, I have to be on auto for the whole month. I certainly love all the features it does have all the features than any agentic IDE of nowadays. Pricing should be transparent tho. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor is the most powerful IDE as it's got the rich ecosystem harness of Visual Studio Code but with many powerful AI-features in a well-optimized but continuously improving UI which provides a great UX for many AI-coding workflows: chat, debugging, parallel agents, etc. It speeds up our development workflow across our different codebases significantly.

Compared to alternatives, the usage limits can be more conservative sometimes. It also appears to sometimes have contributed to battery drain on some of our employees' MacBooks. It is continously getting better however so this may be an issue of the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that we can just guide Cursor.sh using natural language chat to make complex high volume changes to critical and important parts of our software and even create new ones or rewrite entire parts of our app. It also helps us test, all in parallel in multiple sessions and windows and chats and modes like editor or agentic. I also enjoy being able to attach or reference files in or outside the current workspace to give context and specify rulebooks to automate boring parts of software development with background agents. The initial setup was easy, and updates are really easy too. I just have to click update in the update notification, and it automatically updates and reloads.

It gets slow and laggy after hours of use, probably because it takes up too much memory, and I have to restart it. The UX could be improved from just being a list of agentic chats and editor chats. There should be a way to manage all work from a control center that can be checked from mobile too. I want to start, review, and finish development tickets from my phone and push chats forward after giving feedback. There should be threads in the chat to continue a prompt's work in its own thread while also adding different work. Searching a chat and referencing where and when I said something would be super helpful. Being able to open web apps in the IDE and visually point out changes would be great, instead of taking screenshots and annotating. Live annotation of a running webpage inside the IDE or in an external browser like Antigravity would be cool. Also making the models cheaper would be helpful - they run up huge costs if working 8 hours a day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cursor.sh as a software development IDE with tightly integrated LLM support that helps me write code faster and take on more menial tasks. I appreciate that it functions as a rubber ducking companion, helping me figure out design and implementation while reviewing my code. One thing I really like is that it keeps me directly in the code, unlike other tools that try to remove you from it. The setup was very easy for me since it's built on Versus Code, and I could import all of my settings seamlessly. Additionally, I integrate Cursor.sh with lots of other tools due to its MCP support. I also really like the Cloud Agent features - something closer to claude code web, except it exposes an API so I can delegate small tasks to a cloud agent and it will open a PR automatically.

I would really like them to support local LLM agents. I don't care if that has to be on a premium plan because I know that they make their money by charging for LLM access. But, you know, if I could just pay an extra $5 a month to have it integrate with local LLMs on my own machine for offline use, that would be really powerful for me.

VS interface is helpful. When I provide a prompt, it thinks through the problem and comes up with a solution, and then presents everything clearly so I can understand it. and it ask for file changes confirmation from user for files updates and on one click it instantly update the file with changes and performance is smooth like reject suggestions and accept the suggestions. it integration with jira and git hub is very smooth. but pricing bit expensive since developer play around do R&D so it can be little cheaper for R&D Kind of works. Since i'm Using Corporate Account i did not faced any issues with Onboarding it just a login click away Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inconsistent code output – sometimes correct, sometimes confusing or wrong

Struggles with large projects – context handling is not always reliable

Occasional bugs / lag – editor can feel unstable at times

Expensive pricing – especially for heavy usage for R&D works its bit costly should. be some plan for R&D tasks like creating POC

Overwrites code unexpectedly – can change more than intended

Needs constant validation – can’t fully trust generated code

Limited control – sometimes hard to guide it exactly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is probably a game-changer for coding. The AI model consistently has a personal touch, which makes it feel like you have a co-worker who shares the same mindset as you. The UI is also fantastic, but with heavier context the performance isn’t great, especially on low-mid to low-tier systems. The pricing is competitive, although it has degraded over the years. Still, if you’re using it as a team, it can be a solid option. It integrates with GitHub, Slack, and other platforms like most IDEs nowadays. Onboarding is simple too, and since it’s a VS Code fork, it’s very easy to get familiar with in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way AI models perform with a personal touch. And the code indexing is so efficient that it consumes less tokens for a simple to semi-complex jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Cursor.sh helps me in writing code by just having to tell the idea. I'm also pleased with its integration with existing projects. Another feature I appreciate is the Plan feature where I can select a plan, and it asks questions if any. It really aids in planning the whole feature and provides me a summary of how the feature will be developed. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The different modes are very useful for building web apps, data exploration and model building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately the the app showed reconnecting for minutes, where is seemingly lost connection to server or model. Also some times the context window is limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multi-tab agents make it easy to work quickly and stay productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes longer to load from idle than other options I’ve used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
