Cursor

Agent mode handles multi-file changes on a real codebase without losing the thread — it maintains my production Astro + Tailwind blog and its studio tooling.

The best part about Cursor is that, when I'm vibe coding, I can use different AI models depending on what I need.

I love that I can ask questions about my own code without having to explain the whole project every time. It helps me understand what's going on, points me toward the relevant files, and suggests a few different ways to fix issues.

A lot of times I know what I want to build, but I don't know exactly how to write the code for it. I don't always need to figure out the syntax or structure, I can explain the feature and let Cursor create a first version.

One of the best tools for agentic coding. It not only has its own AI models, like Grok/Composer, but also integrates with other models such as Opus/Sonnet and GPT. Performance is very strong

I had previously disabled Cursor's on-demand usage because I did not want additional pay-as-you-go charges. After upgrading to the $60/month Pro+ plan, I discovered a $200 on-demand limit on my account and received an additional $77.88 invoice.

The AI integration in Cursor feels genuinely woven into the coding workflow instead of bolted on as an afterthought. Inline code generation and chat-based editing pull context from the whole codebase, not just the open file

What I like most about Cursor is that it feels like an IDE first and an AI tool second, which means I'm the guy in the chair.

That the AI is embedded in the core of the editor and not attached with a side widget. The autocomplete with Tab is super fast and being able to launch refactorings that affect multiple files at once from Composer saves you a lot of time.

Cursor is the editor I keep going back to because the multi-file edits actually hold context across a repo instead of just the open file.

The best coding agent for a while. it is expensive though. you pay a premium price for a premium agent.

Cursor made building this project way faster than I expected. It's like VS Code, but supercharged with AI. I could just ask it to fix bugs, clean up code, or explain something confusing and it actually understood what I meant.
