Cursor

A fork of VS Code with deeply integrated AI features. More effective than anything I've tried so far, including GitHub Copilot and JetBrains AI. Coupled with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, it's like having a senior developer who knows pretty much everything, at your side at all times.

Cursor accelerates our coding process, offering an enhanced alternative to GitHub Copilot. It allows us to interact directly with our codebase, simplifying navigation and comprehension. Once you use it, there's no turning back.

In compare to other AI coding editors/tools good UX for development

Fairly solid, shame it doesn't have mindfulness of the project across the ai debug/fix chats.

Make it easy to finish sprint in hours (not weeks)

They took a good idea and made it into a great feature. Cursor keeps getting better.

This is what you'd expect GitHub Copilot would have been. Once you use Cursor, there's no going back.

Its ability to understand context and provide relevant suggestions, particularly for complex codebases, really sets it apart. Whether you're working on small projects or large-scale applications, Cursor.ai can help boost productivity and reduce development time. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're looking to streamline your coding process!

Cursor has absolutely changed the way I develop software. To be able to go from idea to running an application in hours or minutes is a game changer. Being able to integrate with several different models makes it easy to experiment. I do wish that they didn't force you to use their Pro service for the Composer experience, since it doesn't come with the same data governance guarantees as going direct to the model provider. But it's so good I can hardly complain...

I've switched full-time from VSCode to Cursor for development. The LLM-powered completions are the best out there (and I've tried a lot of them!), and their UX doesn't break my coding flow. Only hiccup has been the extensions installation flow isn't as smooth, but that's to be expected by any VSCode fork.
