Cursor

What do you like best about the product?

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. Then I test it and tell it what needs changing... low the easy simple chat interface and all the integrations you could do in it..

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it changes some codes that was working fine... so I always have to careful before giving it a prompt..

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use cursor mostly for small tools, website features and little ideas that I need to build but probably wouldn't know how to code properly from scratch. I can explain what I want in normal language, and cursor helps me build exactly that pretty quickly.

What do you like best about the product?

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, and I like having both a fast mode and a standard mode depending on what I’m doing. The ROI feels insane for what you get. Having Cursor model usage alongside other model usage also feels superb.

The UI is really cool, with both Agent mode and IDE mode, and it’s easy to switch between them. Support for the tool also seems widely available online, with plenty of tutorials and documentation.

What do you dislike about the product?

The UI looks cool, but at times it can feel a bit too complex. Also, aside from the Cursor models, integration with other models seems limited. For example, other open-source models like GLM 5.3 can be used via an API, but that still lacks native integration.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me, the wide variety of tools—like local/cloud agents, automations, and workflows—is really useful. And if a Cursor model is underperforming, I can switch to another model for better reasoning and overall output.

What do you like best about the product?

The intelligence for codebase awareness is my best feature. It can look across files and understand how things are connected, which makes tweaking thing easy, agent mode is also pretty impressive.

What do you dislike about the product?

It can definitely go off track. Sometimes I ask for one change and it starts touching three other things that didn't need changing. And when it makes a wrong assumption, it can keep building on that mistake if you don't catch it early.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

mostly in small stuff that eats up time.. Finding where something is used, understanding old code, fixing errors, changing the same thing across multiple files. cursor just gets me through the boring things faster.

What do you like best about the product?

It includes integrated AI as well as a separate, agent-only mode. Depending on your flexibility needs or specific requirements, you can switch between them. It also supports nearly every frontier AI model, which is really great.

What do you dislike about the product?

The cost can sometimes be unpredictable. Even though there’s a tracking dashboard, we still often end up surprised by our AI expenses.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cursor is a great tool for implementation, automation, and cutting down on redundant work. All we have to do is create a skill or plugin, connect MCPs, and then let Cursor do its magic. It’s genuinely fascinating to see how smoothly it all comes together.

What do you like best about the product?

simplicity and it provides grok bot, its auto thing is so good

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes Cursor makes changes that are not needed and I have to spend time reviewing and correcting them especially in larger codebases

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cursor helps me understand existing code faster, debug issues, and make changes more quickly, which saves time especially when working on unfamiliar parts of the codebase

What do you like best about the product?

I can see the diff easily, very convenient for review of what ai coded

What do you dislike about the product?

Prices for good models are kind of high, otherwise nothing

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work there daily, I do all my work related task in Cursor as well as my personal projects

What do you like best about the product?

Cursor is good if you have enough coding knowledge. The initial setup process was easy.

What do you dislike about the product?

Cursor is very expensive and did not follow my instructions when starting to build my code in the cloud. Additionally, it consumes too many tokens when trying to make adjustments, and it doesn't have a button to download work from the cloud. I ended up spending £18.45 for a disastrous result with Cursor, while with Gemini I only spent £4.79 to get a good result. I no longer use Cursor because I didn't like the tool.

What do you like best about the product?

I don't anymore. I used to like lots till they charged me without me choosing on demand services

What do you dislike about the product?

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.

I asked Cursor Support when on-demand had been enabled, when the limit was created and what action authorised it. They told me their tools cannot provide that information, but they still refused to cancel or refund the charge.

They also told me on-demand cannot enable itself and must be explicitly activated.

I had disabled it, did not knowingly re-enable it, and they cannot show me when or how it was enabled.

I'm cancelling Pro+ and moving elsewhere. I would personally look at Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf or another alternative instead.

A company using pay-as-you-go billing should be able to show customers exactly when additional spending was authorised.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's stopping me from being able to afford nappies for my 6 month old twins

What do you like best about the product?

It’s good for coding and for working on projects, especially for hackathons.

What do you dislike about the product?

It has very few tokens, and they vanish very quickly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me debug my project code and makes it cleaner and more polished.

What do you like best about the product?

It’s very smart and genuinely useful. The capabilities are strong, and it connects to many MCPs. It’s also relatively affordable, although a “Cursor Lite” option with a $10 subscription could be a great fit for people who still aren’t completely sold on it.

What do you dislike about the product?

Originally, it was simpler—an AI-powered IDE that worked amazingly well. I don’t fully love the other screen that’s focused only on the agents.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me with a lot of things: drafting alternative approaches to code, prototyping small new features, running security audits, automatically scanning my code for bugs or security concerns, and working in the cloud so I can start developing a specific idea as soon as it comes to me on the go, and more.
