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.
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.
- ease of use - much faster to navigate to code paths and understand execution source - much faster to learn new codebases - since it's forked from VSCode, it was easy to import my existing setup
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.
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.
- it tends to loop on the same solution when it doesn't know what to do - the edit/undo flow can be unintuitive and overwhelming when typing in the middle of a suggestion. making edits during a agent suggestions blends who actually made those changes

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. - 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 - PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER50M-1B USDTravel and HospitalityReview Source
Effective Business Logic Insights and Suggestions With Some Update Limitations Observed
Cursor provides accurate, high-level project analysis, which helps a lot to maintain the code quality. It gives professional recommendations based on the whole project rather than just single files. Cursor also helps to analyze and evaluate new feature requirements and generates sample code. The suggestions and sample code saved me a lot of time. It improved my coding speed and I can have more time to dive into the business logic. - Manager Of It Services<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source
Cursor Offers Efficient Coding Experience but Context Depletion Remains a Concern
My overall experience with Cursor has been great. It is fast and easy to use. The interface is user-friendly. I also like the auto feature for choosing the best model, it's efficient. Among all the AI code assistants I've used so far, Cursor is the best.
