About Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor, a fork of VS Code rebuilt around Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Tab autocomplete is widely considered the best in the market, and the Composer feature for multi-file editing has become the gold standard among AI coding tools. Cursor Rules let you define project-specific conventions that the AI applies automatically. Free tier (2,000 completions/month) is enough to evaluate; Pro ($20/month) unlocks unlimited completions and Premium model access. Best for: developers wanting deep AI integration with familiar VS Code experience, large refactors via Composer, and instant model switching.
