Cursor
Cursor is a fork of VS Code with AI baked into every surface — autocomplete, chat, multi-file edits, agent mode. The free plan covers casual use; the Pro plan unlocks the longer-context models that make the agent genuinely useful on real codebases.
What it's good for
- 1
Multi-file refactors with auto-apply (rename a concept across 20 files in one prompt)
- 2
"Fix this build error" — paste error, Cursor reads the relevant files and proposes a patch
- 3
New feature scaffolding — describe the change, Cursor produces the diff and runs tests
- 4
Cmd+K inline editing for quick fixes without leaving the line
- 5
Agent mode for autonomous work on a feature branch overnight
How to use it
Open your repo in Cursor. Use Cmd+K for inline edits, Cmd+L for chat. For larger work, switch to Agent mode and let it run — it reads files, runs commands, and surfaces diffs for approval. The killer move is "@" referencing — drop a file or symbol into the chat and Cursor knows exactly what you mean.
