Cursor

Editorial Review

Cursor represents the next evolution of AI-assisted coding. Unlike Copilot which adds AI to an existing editor, Cursor was built AI-first. The Cmd+K feature for inline edits and the ability to reference multiple files in context make complex refactoring tasks significantly faster. The free tier includes 2000 completions. At $20/mo for Pro, you get unlimited completions and premium model access. The learning curve is minimal if you're already a VS Code user since it's a fork with the same interface.
