Cursor Likes & Dislikes
Cursor AI makes it easier to understand a complete codebase by helping you quickly grasp module architecture, interdependencies and logic. It simplifies tracing references across modules, libraries and APIs, making it clear how functions interact and data moves. However, it is limited to module level.
Read Full ReviewThis 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.
Read Full ReviewThe quality of code changes/ suggestions, ability to generate mermaid diagrams, testing, documentation generation, is just amazing. We can also create teams with our colleagues and share rules.

Cursor AI's pricing sits midway in the market. For the productivity gains it offers, the cost feels justified, though scaling across larger teams would quickly add up. On the security side, while the platform is strong in its development assessment, it provides limited visibility into how code, prompts, and integrations are handled under the hood. Greater transparency and enterprise-grade controls would strengthen confidence in sensitive use cases.
Read Full ReviewI 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.
Read Full ReviewBeing based on open source code, there was almost no learning curve for our developers; but devs accustomed to other IDEs struggled with changes in key shortcuts and UI feature changes.

Platform Reduces Manual Work But Lacks Visibility In Structured Agent Creation
The platform accelerates prototyping by reducing the manual overhead of code scaffolding, documentation lookup, and testing workflows. However, when moving beyond experimentation into structured agent creation, several limitations become apparent - particularly around end-to-end visibility and control. Limited visual feedback also adds challenges in building a complete agent. - 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 - IT ASSOCIATE50M-1B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Performs Well for Simple Prototypes but Struggles with Larger Complex Projects
Cursor works quite well for simple prototypes or generating shortcut scripts. It is suffers with larger, more complex projects and tends to duplicate code if not starting from scratch.
