Cursor

Also known as: Cursor IDE / Cursor Editor / Cursor AI

VS Code-based AI editor with inline completion, chat, and Agent mode that references the entire codebase as context for refactoring.

Overview

Cursor is highly compatible with VS Code and supports existing extensions out of the box. In Agent mode it can autonomously apply changes across multiple files and execute terminal commands, switching between Claude, GPT, and Gemini as needed.

Positioning vs Competitors

Alongside Windsurf, Cursor is one of the leading AI-integrated editors, adopted by individual developers and large enterprises alike. Whereas Claude Code is CLI-first, Cursor suits developers who prefer a GUI editing experience.
