Cursor

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.

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.

The 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.

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.

Being 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.
