"Very efficient tool for any coder"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

I particularly like Cursor's Agent Mode, which can work across multiple files, understand the entire codebase, and handle more complex development tasks with minimal guidance. The improved background indexing and semantic code search have also made it much easier to navigate large repositories and find relevant code instantly. Another feature I've found valuable is the enhanced support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) and multiple AI models, giving me more flexibility to integrate external tools and choose the model that works best for different coding tasks.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

Sometimes the AI suggestions are overly complex for simple test cases, adding unnecessary abstractions. It occasionally generates test code with outdated patterns or deprecated methods from older framework versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Smooth Coding with Natural AI Suggestions"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

What I like best about Cursor.sh is how fast and smooth it makes coding. The AI suggestions feel natural and actually useful, especially for debugging and writing repetitive code. It saves a lot of time and helps me focus more on logic instead of boilerplate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

Sometimes the AI suggestions feel inaccurate or a bit too aggressive, especially when I’m working on larger projects. It can also slow down with heavier files, and some of the more advanced features take time to fully understand and use effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Smart Coding Assistant for Everyday Development"
5/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

What I like most about Cursor⁠� is how seamlessly it brings AI directly into my coding workflow. Features such as intelligent code completion, inline edits, codebase-aware chat, and quick bug fixes save me a lot of development time. Overall, it feels like having an assistant right inside the editor, instead of constantly switching back and forth between different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

One thing I dislike about Cursor� is that it can sometimes get overly aggressive with AI-generated changes, especially in larger codebases. We still have to review its suggestions carefully, since it may introduce unnecessary refactors or even incorrect logic. It can also feel resource-heavy at times, and some of the more advanced features seem to depend heavily on paid usage limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Deep AI Integration with Fast, Intelligent Code Autocomplete"
5/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

I’m actively using Cursor in a professional work environment for data engineering and ETL development projects. My work involves writing Spark ETL jobs and debugging large-scale pipelines. I use Cursor for Python development and for troubleshooting these pipelines, and it helps me optimize code, debug Airflow DAGs, and refactor the code I work with most often.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

I don’t have any major dislikes about Cursor; it’s a good product overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressive AI Autocomplete with Context-Aware, Fast Tab Completions"
4/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

The AI-powered autocomplete is genuinely impressive — it understands context across multiple files, not just the current one. The inline chat and CMD+K for quick edits make it feel like pair programming rather than just code completion. Tab completions are fast and accurate enough that I actually trust them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

The support experience leaves a lot to be desired — response times are slow and issues often go unresolved for days. The billing and subscription management can be confusing, and when things break (like context window limits or sync issues), there's not much transparency on what's happening. The documentation also lags behind new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Speed, Great Model Choice, and Incredible Value"
4/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

The UI of the agents window, and how I can see the changes directly in the code and in the UI field. The speed is also outstanding, and the choice is great. You offer all the flagship models at reasonable prices. We pay just 60$ and the value is amazing. We also integrated it into many parts of the system, and it's great. AI is clever, and the program's onboarding is really simple; you just code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

Perhaps that can remove older models of the Composer, i really like to use them for the simplest tasks to save costs, even though the cost is already low :D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Workflow with Room for Expansion"
4/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

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.

"Cursor understands the context of the repo and accelerates refactors and changes."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

What I like most about Cursor is that it does understand the context of the entire project, not just the line where you are.

For example, when working with FastAPI, I can ask it to adjust an endpoint and it automatically takes into account models, services, and even other related files. This saves a lot of time compared to copying and pasting code into a chat.

It is also very useful for refactors: you tell it "change this logic throughout the project" and it does it quite well, maintaining consistency. This is really felt in real projects.

And a key thing is that it serves more for thinking than Copilot. It not only autocompletes, but you can discuss a solution directly on your code, as if it were another dev deeply involved in the repo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

What I don't like is that sometimes it goes overboard with being "creative."

When you ask for something specific, it can end up changing more than necessary or proposing a solution that doesn't quite fit with your architecture. In projects with already defined logic (like well-structured APIs in FastAPI), this forces you to review everything with a fine-tooth comb.

It also depends a lot on the context it has loaded. If it doesn't fully understand the complete flow, it starts to assume things and that can break coherence between files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cursor Is My Daily Coding Buddy for Writing, Debugging, and Team Documentation"
5/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

I use Cursor on a daily basis as my best buddy. It helps me write code, create AI agents, debug issues, find the RCA, do POCs, and—most importantly—create documents for my team and org about the work I’m doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

Sometimes, when working with multiple agents, it uses too much memory. Apart from that, there’s nothing else to mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Cursor Integration That Speeds Up Coding and R&D"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cursor?

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.

What do you dislike about Cursor?

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.
