Cursor is a fork of the VS Code editor with AI features built in: inline edits, codebase-aware chat and multi-file changes. If you already use VS Code, the move is low-friction.
A good fit if
- Making edits across several files at once
- Exploring a codebase you did not write
- Developers who already live in VS Code
Skip it if
- Your company restricts which editors can touch source code
- You prefer a terminal-only workflow
