Cursor Likes & Dislikes
One of the standout features of Cursor is its seamless integration with other platforms, such as GitHub and Notion. This connectivity allows for a smoother transition when managing code repositories and creating context-rich documentation in Notion. The ability to automate tasks and generate/write comprehensive documentation directly aligns with my workflow, significantly enhancing productivity and streamlining problem-solving.
This is a great product with a wonderful UI. I owe it a lot as it has changed my approach towards coding and has removed a lot of the obstacles. It makes difficult things easy.
I like the Agentic offering from Cursor. We have tried it for Google workspace development like extensions, add-ons and web applications. Cursor excels at all of those.
While Cursor is a robust tool, there are areas for improvement. First, the learning curve can be steep for those not familiar with similar automation tools. Secondly, while integration with platforms like GitHub and Notion is beneficial, the initial setup can sometimes be cumbersome, requiring a bit of trial and error. Lastly, the user interface, though functional, could benefit from a more modern and intuitive design to improve user experience; it's very code heavy and not intuitive to users not familiar with that field.
I really don't like their pricing changes. I think they are very unfriendly towards a loyal community. This has significantly reduced my usage and the ability to use my time effectively.
I am yet to find dislikes here but sometimes some models are much inferior resulting in too much time being spent with back and forth prompting and guiding the model to understand the full context of our project requirement.

Cursor Integration Streamlines Documentation and Code Management in Tech Workflows
My overall experience with Cursor has been quite positive. As a new user, I found the setup and integration process to be straightforward, allowing me to quickly connect Cursor to my existing workflows. It's a powerful tool that simplifies running code to automate various steps, which is particularly beneficial in my role within the tech sector. I can have multiple sources feed into it directly, which adds a wealth of context to the discussion. - Application Developer10B+ USDTransportationReview Source
End-to-End Project Execution Improved, Occasional Model Limitations
Cursor has significantly improved the productivity at work. We love the AI agent and their capabilities. Large projects are much better managed and cursor does a great job at code stages like testing deployment and production debugging too. We love the fact that Cursor has great understanding of our architecture once fed with the right information, it is able to manage large projects end to end with little to no guidance from senior devs. - PRINCIPAL DATA ENGINEER1B-10B USDTravel and HospitalityReview Source
AI Features in Cursor IDE Lead to Advanced AI Code Generation and Collaboration
Cursor experience has been amazing AI Vibe coding editor that we have onboarded in our company more than 6 months ago. Being the first AI-native IDEs, it is way ahead in bringing new features and the UX, code suggestions and agent works way better than others. The recent multi-agent interface is just amazing; allowing our devs to use multiple agents in parallel and then pick the best solution. Sandbox terminal is also quite handy in saving time in writing and running commands manually. Our front-end developers are loving the browser integration. for debugging. - SR DATA ARCHITECT50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
AI IDE that accelerates coding
Cursor is a refreshing upgrade compared to traditional IDEs. AI tightly coupled into the workflow. For application development, especially when juggling multiple frameworks or shifting between front-end and backend. Cursor speeds up prototyping and reduces the grind of boilerplate coding. It does take a bit longer, and projects still need human oversight to maintain structure and best practices. But overall it has been a serious productivity booster for my teams. - DIRECTOR50M-1B USDBankingReview Source
Autonomy And Code Navigation Enhanced In Cursor, Edit Suggestions Cause Confusion
I love how cursor breaks down its approach and allows me to add custom context prompts. this gives me the autonomy my modus operandi so that i dont have to reinsert a gigantic prompt every time. namely about always keeping SOLID and DRY principles in mind
