About Cursor
Cursor forked VS Code and rebuilt it around AI. Tab completions predict multi-line edits, chat understands your whole repository, and Agent mode plans and executes changes across files while you review diffs. It became the fastest-growing dev tool in memory because it makes experienced engineers faster instead of just helping beginners. Model costs can climb at heavy usage.
