Cursor Reviews & Product Details

I like that Cursor is user-friendly, which makes it easy to navigate. The main thing I like about Cursor is that it feels intuitive. I also appreciate the picture-in-picture mode, which works really well. I find the code base indexing in Cursor very helpful because it allows the AI to understand the project structure and provide context to suggestions. It reduces my cognitive load and speeds up the transition from an idea to working code. Cursor enhances my ability by understanding the relationship between different files and significantly reduces context switching, which boosts my productivity. The initial setup of Cursor was easy because I could install it like a normal desktop app and launch it from my existing VS Code settings, extensions, and themes.

I wish Cursor was more like the Chrome browser. I use it mainly for software development, but I'd like to use it for everyday tasks too. If its AI native features could automate the creation of repetitive tasks and the development of integrated systems, it would be more useful.The pricing of the software could have been better against performance.

What I like most is how seamlessly Cursor integrates into my coding workflow. Instead of switching between tools or constantly Googling things, I can ask Cursor directly inside the editor. It’s especially helpful when I’m working on repetitive code or trying to understand unfamiliar parts of a codebase. The inline suggestions and the ability to edit code using prompts feel very natural once you get used to them.

I also like that it shows the changes made across all files, so it’s easier to keep track of what’s been updated. It responds very quickly and generates code fast as well.

Setup is basically effortless: you just install it, log in with your account, and you’re good to go. Pricing seems mostly in line with other tools available.

Another plus is that I can run the application inside it, so I don’t have to open another IDE. I use it for my day-to-day coding and for generating my API documentation as it has the context of API's. It has become so easy to share API docs across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it overcomplicates things when, in reality, the solution is very simple. At times it touches the code even though we have asked it not to touch or update it.

It also tries to create generic code when it isn’t needed, and ends up adding many functions and extra logic around it. This makes the code reviewer’s responsibility more complex, because we have to thoroughly check the commits and ensure no unwanted changes go to production.

If it can better understand the question, and also understand the coding patterns and logic of the codebase, and then write code in a similar style, it would be very helpful. It should only use generic code or good coding patterns when we specifically ask for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cursor for my daily work, and it’s a great tool for coding and product development. It supports many AI models, and the plan mode is amazing—it plans everything, and we can integrate pretty much everything. Around 90% of my code is written by Cursor, and it helps me build products quickly.

That said, the $20 plan drains quickly for APIs. In the beginning it felt good for $20 because it seemed like real unlimited usage was provided, but now it’s limited. Still, for using it with auto mode, it’s great. For complex tasks, we definitely need to use some good models from Claude.

Since it’s based on VS Code, the transition from VS Code is very smooth. Performance-wise, it works well if you have a good system; otherwise it can take too much memory and start to lag. On my MacBook Pro M2 it works well, but on my other MacBook Air M1 it can get laggy if I keep agents running and have two or more projects open.

Support has been good too. Once I needed to cancel my subscription, and they helped me with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The usage limit gets drained quickly for APIs, and for auto they’ve made it limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It understand your whole codebase context and builds things, even if the project was not started on cursor. Its autocomplete is really amazing sometimes I think it is reading my mind. The UI has 2 modes for non-technical and full-technical people, so if you are a total vibe coder you can use it too and its also usable for a senior SE. It integrates with all of your day to day coding related services through MCPs and plugins and handles them as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the models does not understand the codebase structure or design patterns. I have noticed multiple times it makes design decisions that does not make sense or be consistant with the rest of the codebase.

The pricing can be sometimes tricky. They have monthly packages but sometimes we go above the limits. Once we go above the limits we dont have a clear picture of how much of money is burnt, and sometimes ending up getting bills over 200 USD per month per account!! We only signed up for $20 plan and enabled auto recharge lol!

It takes a ton of memory and sometimes go unresponsive when I have some other apps open. At those points It becomes laggy and unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love Cursor for its powerful AI assisted coding, especially how it can understand my codebase and generate relevant code suggestions or edits instantly. In my daily work, it saves me a lot of time by helping me with debugging, writing the boilerplate code, and even explaining the complex logic step-by-step in a simple way. The UI feels clean and familiar (like the VS Code), which made it easy for me to get started without a steep learning curve while still boosting my productivity significantly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any reason to dislike Cursor, but I sometimes find Cursor’s AI responses inconsistent, especially with more complex tasks, which means I still need to verify and refine the output sometimes. In my experience, performance can slow down when working on larger codebases, which affects the overall flow. I also feel the pricing could be more flexible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor is a very powerful AI-assisted code editor that significantly speeds up development. The AI integration feels natural and is deeply embedded into the workflow, making it easy to generate code, refactor functions, or understand unfamiliar parts of a codebase. It’s especially useful for navigating large projects, where you can quickly ask questions about the code and get relevant context-aware answers.

The interface is clean and similar to Visual Studio Code, so onboarding is quick. Features like inline suggestions, chat-based assistance, and the ability to modify multiple files at once make it very efficient for day-to-day development. Overall, it helps reduce repetitive work and improves productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the AI features are very helpful, they are not always perfectly accurate and still require validation. For complex or critical logic, you need to carefully review the generated code. Performance can also vary depending on project size and usage. Additionally, relying heavily on AI suggestions may reduce deeper understanding if not used carefully.

It is a new way of programming. It helps when I need it but does not come pushy with proposing changes. The UI is old school, but I like it this way. I've been suing Visual Studio before I found them pretty similar. I was able to download my old setup so I did not need to configure it all over again. Performance is great - I get responses really fast. I like the Composer 2 (AI model) feedback on multiple files (to be able to comprehend the full project). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest I did not find anything that I would not like. Composer 2 AI model is quite expensive but compared to Auto (which is usually Claude or OpenAI) it really shows the value. I did not need any help with the setup -as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor is very easy to use and integrates smoothly into the development workflow. The setup and implementation were quick, and I was able to start using the AI features immediately. I use it frequently while coding because it helps generate, explain, and refactor code efficiently. It also integrates well with existing projects and tools, making it a practical productivity booster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I recently started using Cursor, I’m still exploring many of its features. Occasionally, the AI suggestions may need small adjustments, and some advanced capabilities take a bit of time to fully understand. More in-editor guidance or documentation could help new users discover features faster. Overall, the experience has been smooth so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Cursor is how naturally the AI integrates into the coding workflow. It understands the codebase well and helps with writing, editing and debugging the code much faster. I also like that it can explain parts of the code and suggest improvements without breaking my focus. It feels like having a smart coding assistant inside the editor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Cursor is that AI suggestions can sometimes be a bit inconsistent, especially with more complex code. Occasionally it generates edit that need manual adjustments. It would also be nice to have more control over how detailed the AI responses are. Overall it's very helpful, but there's still some room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
