Cursor Reviews & Product Details

Since we get the help of AI to write our codes, I feel that it is helpful for me to find my mistakes. Everyday I use it to write my codes and make new websites. In terms of prices, we have to pay to use it. The UI is pretty simple to use too. The performance is amazing as mentioned since it is easy to write the commands. I have never asked for support on the app, but I guess it is better to ask them if we can since they might help sometime. I have connected this cursor to VSC (Visual studio code) to write my school codes. This supports me in my summative too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about cursor, but I guess it is better to make it free since not a lot of people can buy it. It was free before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The intelligence for codebase awareness is my best feature. It can look across files and understand how things are connected, which makes tweaking thing easy, agent mode is also pretty impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can definitely go off track. Sometimes I ask for one change and it starts touching three other things that didn't need changing. And when it makes a wrong assumption, it can keep building on that mistake if you don't catch it early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Cursor is how seamlessly it integrates AI into the coding workflow. It makes writing, understanding, and debugging code much faster and more intuitive. The AI suggestions are generally context-aware and helpful, especially when working across larger codebases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Cursor is that the AI suggestions can sometimes be inconsistent or require additional review and corrections. For larger or more complex codebases, it may occasionally misunderstand the context and suggest changes that aren’t quite what I intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beyond being able to write code in any language, the fact that the agent can access the full repo is understated. Using Cursor for development gives the agent full context for issues beyond just the code itself. Build failures, UI issues, and test failures can all be identified and addressed within the same environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The token allocation system feels a bit unclear. As a non-enterprise user, I’m especially sensitive to token usage, so having a clearer understanding of how tokens are allocated before I run a prompt would be really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor has been great to work with. It’s easy to use, and I especially like that it offers different AI models I can switch between depending on what I need in the moment. That flexibility makes it far more useful across different types of tasks. Overall, it feels like a powerful tool that helps me get work done faster and more efficiently.

One thing I dislike about Cursor is that when using Frontier models, it's not always clear how quickly API limits are being consumed. For larger or more complex tasks, the usage can add up faster than expected, which sometimes interrupts my workflow. I would appreciate more transparency and control over API usage so it's easier to manage limits and avoid unexpected restrictions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how well everything is integrated within it i.e., Cursors agents, Codex, Claude code etc. The user interface is also very friendly and very easy to navigate. I like how well the agents provided by cursor work-- very fast, have a lot of useful tools and have good interaction with the terminal (this last one improved a lot over the past half year). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often there are some UI bugs or similar stuff. The two most annoying for me are 1) the codex pin on the left pane often disappears for several weeks until it comes back (after an update) so I can't open it from that shortcut and need to use another pin I added at the top. 2) When opening Claude code there is an automatic pane on the right that is opened with that. Very annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cursor has become a very important tool in my daily workflow as a fullstack developer. I mainly work with Vue, Laravel, and WordPress, and Cursor has helped me significantly optimize repetitive tasks, improve productivity, and speed up project delivery.

One of the biggest impacts for me is that Cursor reduced the fear and insecurity of starting new projects from scratch, especially when working with new technologies, architectures, or features that I am still exploring. It does not only help me write code, but also helps me better understand architecture decisions, best practices, performance, security, and overall project organization.

Another very positive point is the ability to use rules and custom instructions. I was able to reproduce inside Cursor the exact way I like to work: how I want to structure a project, how the website should be built, which standards should be followed, and how I think about development from beginning to end. This makes the final result much more aligned with my own workflow and development process.

Cursor also helps a lot with tasks such as duplicating and adapting code, refactoring, performance improvements, security reviews, and building new features. Overall, it has become an essential tool to increase my productivity and confidence as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be improved is the clarity around usage and cost. Sometimes it is not very clear how much each request, agent action, or model call is consuming in terms of tokens or usage limits. As a developer, I would appreciate more detailed visibility into what is being spent per interaction, especially when working on larger projects or using more advanced features frequently.

It would be helpful to have a clearer breakdown of token usage, model usage, and how each action impacts the plan limits. This would make it easier to manage usage, estimate costs, and understand the real impact of different workflows.

Another point is that when working on larger projects, it can sometimes miss part of the broader context, especially if the rules or project instructions are not very clear. However, once the rules are well configured, the experience becomes much more consistent and productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it helps me understand the overall codebase, edit multiple files at the same time, and work within the existing workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The edits feel unpredictable, and the cost and usage limits are frustrating. On top of that, it often loses context, which makes the overall experience inconsistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Cursor AI extensively for development work, and it’s become one of the few AI tools I genuinely enjoy using.

Cursor feels familiar right away because it’s built on VS Code. The AI features are woven naturally into the workflow instead of feeling bolted on. Chat, inline edits, and code generation are all easy to reach when you need them, without breaking focus.

Because it sits in the VS Code ecosystem, most extensions work out of the box. It also integrates smoothly with Git, terminal workflows, and existing development environments, so adopting it has been relatively frictionless.

The editor is fast and responsive. AI responses are generally quick, and working across large codebases feels surprisingly smooth. Its context awareness is one of the strongest parts of the experience, especially when I’m navigating unfamiliar projects.

For professional developers, the subscription cost is easy to justify. The time saved on debugging, refactoring, documentation, and repetitive coding tasks quickly outweighs the monthly fee, and it’s one of the highest-ROI software subscriptions I currently pay for.

Getting started is easy, with a very little learning curve for anyone familiar with modern code editors. The documentation is clear, and the product is intuitive enough that most users can become productive within a few hours.

Its ability to understand project-wide context, modify multiple files, explain code, and help with complex development tasks feels meaningfully ahead of traditional autocomplete tools. It often feels less like a code-completion assistant and more like having a capable junior developer available on demand.

Overall, Cursor is one of the most impactful developer tools I’ve adopted in recent years, and it has become a permanent part of my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to point out the weaknesses of Cursor, they mostly come from the current limitations of AI rather than the editor itself.

Cursor will often generate code that looks correct and sounds convincing, but occasionally contains subtle bugs or architectural mistakes.

Some days it feels like a senior engineer helping you move at 10x speed. Other times it struggles with relatively simple tasks, misunderstands requirements, or gets stuck in loops of bad suggestions. The experience can vary depending on the underlying model being used.

While Cursor understands codebases better than most AI coding tools, it can still lose context in larger projects. Sometimes it modifies the wrong file, misses existing patterns, or introduces duplicate functionality because it didn't fully understand the broader system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nice intuitive UI. Easy to see what agent I'm using. Easy to add rules files. Easy to INTERRUPT the agent by force submission (this is often more complicated in other UIs). I really like the ASK and PLAN modes too. Especially ASK is a sort of read only mode which is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the formatting of code in the UI, very annoying: that there are blocks indicating what changed, I mean its nice when I click a file in the commit panel but when I have committed, all these formatting should just clear out. I NEVER use the buttons for keep all and stuff. I also dislike that there are 3 views of the same file; like normal view, change view and even one more (dont remember). I expect all views to be editable and display the same thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
