Cursor

A True AI Native Editor

While GitHub Copilot was a great plugin for VS Code, Cursor is a fork of VS Code built entirely around artificial intelligence from the ground up. You get to keep all your favorite extensions and themes, but you gain an incredibly powerful AI pair programmer.

The Power of Codebase Context

What sets Cursor apart is its ability to read your entire repository. Instead of just completing the line you are currently typing, you can ask it, "Where is the logic for our affiliate routing?" and it will instantly find the correct file and explain the code. You can highlight entire blocks and hit Command-K to have the AI refactor, debug, or write new logic instantly.
