Cursor
An AI-first code editor built on VS Code.
A fork of VS Code with inline prediction, a chat sidebar that can edit across files, and an agent mode that plans and applies multi-step changes. Because it inherits the VS Code extension ecosystem, most existing setups port over unchanged, which makes it the lowest-friction jump for anyone already living in VS Code.
Best for
People who want an editor that feels familiar with agentic editing layered in.
Watch out for
Tab completion is so good it hides how much you're accepting unread. Slow down on anything touching auth or payments.
