Powerful Local Dev Workflow with Flexible Pricing
Cursor has really helped me build AI web applications, including mobile and desktop, even though I don't have full stack developer experience. It mainly helps me with integrating models and data sources, and writing the front end and back end code. What I like most is being able to split things into topics and chats, and name those chats, which I then use to develop different parts of my application, like front end, back end, an agent specifically for mobile development, production environments, and so on. I mainly use it with remote SSH to my staging and production VM for remotely pushing and staging builds, and integrating GitHub, which is very handy. I switched from Lovable because I really didn't like their vibe coding aspect, not having an IDE and not being able to build things without relying on their platform. With Cursor you can build your own apps locally as well as in the cloud, with its own front and back end, so you're not tied to their infrastructure. The main thing I like is Cursor's auto mode. I really like that I can pay a fixed price per month as a small team, so I don't have massive credit bills, and I like that they allow the use of underutilized models and let us leverage them for free, which was a big selling point for me. Cursor is better at building the local development workflow and actually building something long term that is usable rather than just a quick prototype. The initial setup was super easy. I love that you can download it on Windows, and you can have a dual Windows/WSL environment to work with containers and have that development workflow locally. It's a great platform, easy to use, and they keep up to date with the latest models and developments in AI. For our coding, I'd rate it a 10.

Seamless AI Integration with Familiar VS Code Feel
I use Cursor as my only IDE for writing and reviewing all my code. I like how it's identical to VS Code, which I came from, and how easy it is to integrate into my AI work. I can just select code or my terminal, hit a keyboard shortcut, and it'll appear exactly in the context of the AI I want to use. I'm not just generically trying to tell the AI to look for a file or a function; I can point to the exact terminal context or lines I care about. Compared to using Codex from the CLI, where it's not obvious what files I changed and there's no version control tab that I find so comforting, I always come back and review things in Cursor and then ask Composer to make adjustments. One thing that keeps me on Cursor is just how good the Composer 2.5 model is. If I'm not trying to do a gigantic hands-off task but instead want to do some refactors, Composer does a really fabulous job. It does a good enough job on daily tasks, so I only have to use the big models on really complicated stuff. The AI integration was so nice when I switched over last summer, and I've never considered going back. Migration was simple since I could just use my VS Code config. I'd give it a 9 to recommend, and I've already talked my colleague into using it.

AI-Native Code Companion — Project-Aware Suggestions, Smart Autocomplete & In-Editor Chat
AI-native experience: It's not just a plugin bolted onto an existing editor; the AI is baked into the whole workflow, so suggestions and edits feel natural rather than like a separate tool you're switching between.
Codebase awareness: It understands the context of your whole project, not just the file you're in, which makes suggestions far more relevant and reduces the back-and-forth of explaining what you're working on.
Tab completion that actually thinks: The autocomplete goes beyond finishing a line; it anticipates multi-line changes and whole block rewrites, which saves a lot of time on repetitive edits.
Chat with your code: Being able to highlight a section and ask questions or request changes in natural language, without leaving the editor, is genuinely useful rather than just a gimmick.
