Cursor

What do you like best about the product?

İ really like Cursor's quota because, thanks to its own models and the agreements it has made with xai, the models hardly use up my plan's quota. i'm pleased with how well it uses the agent tools. i like the composer 2.5 model because it's really great and very affordable. it offers me a lot of productivity on a budget of around $20. i think the single monthly quota system is great.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find the chat history reappearing annoying even after I've deleted them, and I think the code editor optimization is poor, it's even terrible. I constantly deal with deleting chats for no reason, and it slows down significantly when opening long folders, unlike Visual Studio Code which is really fast.

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

Cursor offers me great productivity with minimal costs, but I'm frustrated with the persistent deleted chat history and the poor code editor optimization.

What do you like best about the product?

Didn't use it at all. I just signed up for a 1 hour hackathon

What do you dislike about the product?

I've signed up for a monthly acc for a trial run on a hackathon of sorts, with a code given by the organizer.

I've used Cursor for just that 1 hour - and now saw I was charge monthly for the last 4 months.
I have not recieved any email telling me I'm about to move on from trial to paid.

I saw a bunch of threads here about how Cursor refunds in such cases like many other companies, but they refused to. I talked to a human being.

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

nothing in pacticular.

What do you like best about the product?

The interface feels similar to popular IDEs, so as a developer I found it easy to pick up and use. It offers multiple LLM models to choose from, which is helpful depending on what I’m working on. The price point is on the high side, but it still feels worth it for what you get. I also like that it can integrate with third-party MCPs, making it possible to build agentic workflows.

What do you dislike about the product?

The reported model unavailability doesn’t align with the models’ actual uptime.

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

It helps me boost my productivity in my work as a product designer and software engineer.

What do you like best about the product?

It has one of the cleanest UIs, with less cognitive overload. It’s a delight to use.

What do you dislike about the product?

Honestly, I can’t really think of anything to add. It’s good.

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

It is giving an enviroment for me to code

What do you like best about the product?

The best about Cursor is its AI coding capabilities

What do you dislike about the product?

The cursor requires detailed explanation otherwise the solution provided by cursor is not accurate.

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

The problem that cursor solving is pair programming, troubleshooting, debugging.

What do you like best about the product?

Since we get the help of AI to write our codes, I feel that it is helpful for me to find my mistakes. Everyday I use it to write my codes and make new websites. In terms of prices, we have to pay to use it. The UI is pretty simple to use too. The performance is amazing as mentioned since it is easy to write the commands. I have never asked for support on the app, but I guess it is better to ask them if we can since they might help sometime. I have connected this cursor to VSC (Visual studio code) to write my school codes. This supports me in my summative too.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is nothing that I dislike about cursor, but I guess it is better to make it free since not a lot of people can buy it. It was free before.

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

Cursor solves problems like fixing the codes that are not proper and gives me NEW codes to put in to make it better.

What do you like best about the product?

I really like Cursor's AI code generation because it automatically generates all the code for me, including complete functions, classes, and entire files without me having to type everything manually. It understands my project structure, which is top-notch. The detailed step-by-step instructions for setting up development and production environments save a lot of manual steps, especially for junior developers. It has significantly reduced the time for MVP creation from weeks to days and eliminated the need to write boilerplate code manually. Cursor is also great for generating 70-80% of the MVP code without manual typing, handling tasks like database schema, API endpoints, and authentication. This has saved us about twenty to thirty hours per week per person on routine coding tasks. Cursor generated the entire project structure, including database connections, API routes, and frontend components, in just one session. It makes our jobs easier by providing clear instructions on installing databases, APIs, and dependencies, significantly reducing the learning curve.

What do you dislike about the product?

While Cursor is excellent, there are some areas that could be improved. The AI becomes less helpful for fine-tuning complex customizations. It generates great initial code but struggles with advanced features, making more errors. Its performance can be inconsistent, sometimes perfect, other times producing broken or insufficient results. This inconsistency makes it unreliable for critical production issues. Additionally, Cursor needs to improve context retention to avoid breaking what’s already built, as it often makes errors that need constant context clarification to prevent mistakes. It still requires human oversight and assistance for debugging.

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

Cursor reduces development time drastically, automating code generation and MVP setup, and cutting weeks to days. It simplifies code writing, creates project structures and environment setups swiftly, freeing me to focus on business logic, significantly reducing the learning burden and manual coding hours.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that Cursor is a simple tool that allows the use of LLMs very close to the codebase, and for a reasonable price, the number of tokens is generous. The interface is designed to work directly in the relevant files, which is very useful when the codebase becomes large: it is quick to find the functions to correct or improve. The initial installation was very simple.

What do you dislike about the product?

The context of LLM in "auto" mode is somewhat limited, so you need to know how to use the tool intelligently: optimize the requests while being aware of the memory limit.

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

Cursor allows me to be faster in development by effectively detecting bugs. The integration of LLMs near the codebase simplifies the process.

What do you like best about the product?

Cursor has really helped me build AI web applications, including mobile and desktop, even though I don't have full stack developer experience. It mainly helps me with integrating models and data sources, and writing the front end and back end code. What I like most is being able to split things into topics and chats, and name those chats, which I then use to develop different parts of my application, like front end, back end, an agent specifically for mobile development, production environments, and so on. I mainly use it with remote SSH to my staging and production VM for remotely pushing and staging builds, and integrating GitHub, which is very handy. I switched from Lovable because I really didn't like their vibe coding aspect, not having an IDE and not being able to build things without relying on their platform. With Cursor you can build your own apps locally as well as in the cloud, with its own front and back end, so you're not tied to their infrastructure. The main thing I like is Cursor's auto mode. I really like that I can pay a fixed price per month as a small team, so I don't have massive credit bills, and I like that they allow the use of underutilized models and let us leverage them for free, which was a big selling point for me. Cursor is better at building the local development workflow and actually building something long term that is usable rather than just a quick prototype. The initial setup was super easy. I love that you can download it on Windows, and you can have a dual Windows/WSL environment to work with containers and have that development workflow locally. It's a great platform, easy to use, and they keep up to date with the latest models and developments in AI. For our coding, I'd rate it a 10.

What do you dislike about the product?

I use Cursor mainly on auto. I would like to be able to have a single master agent that can then delegate to... sub agents in a pane down the side, and then you can have a composer agent, which can then talk to those chats.","I want to be able to access all the chats in the side pane and view the transcript without having to sort of go into the nested sub agents within chats.","I don't want to be burning through API credits massively. I would like to be able to use the above master agent on auto so that I'm not burning through API credits, rather than trying to use the cloud sub agents. I'm not on the free plan and I'm still paying for the application, so it would be good to use on auto without worrying about per agent billing for that specific use case.

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

Without full stack developer experience, Cursor helps me build AI web, mobile, and desktop apps. It mainly helps with integrating models and data sources, plus writing the front end and back end code. I can split things into named chats for different parts of the app.

What do you like best about the product?

I use Cursor as my only IDE for writing and reviewing all my code. I like how it's identical to VS Code, which I came from, and how easy it is to integrate into my AI work. I can just select code or my terminal, hit a keyboard shortcut, and it'll appear exactly in the context of the AI I want to use. I'm not just generically trying to tell the AI to look for a file or a function; I can point to the exact terminal context or lines I care about. Compared to using Codex from the CLI, where it's not obvious what files I changed and there's no version control tab that I find so comforting, I always come back and review things in Cursor and then ask Composer to make adjustments. One thing that keeps me on Cursor is just how good the Composer 2.5 model is. If I'm not trying to do a gigantic hands-off task but instead want to do some refactors, Composer does a really fabulous job. It does a good enough job on daily tasks, so I only have to use the big models on really complicated stuff. The AI integration was so nice when I switched over last summer, and I've never considered going back. Migration was simple since I could just use my VS Code config. I'd give it a 9 to recommend, and I've already talked my colleague into using it.

What do you dislike about the product?

{"I feel jealous of people using Claude Code who pay roughly the same amount as I do but get all the subsidized Opus tokens.","I have to be really sparing with my fancy model use, even at the $60/mo range.","I've tried using the cloud mode a few times while I was driving a few months ago but didn't have a great experience.","I don't think that's necessarily unique to Cursor, but I do get jealous of my friends."}

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

I use Cursor as my only IDE for writing and reviewing all my code. I like how easy it is to integrate AI into my work, I can select exact code or terminal context with a shortcut. The version control tab helps me review changes, and Composer 2.5 does a really fabulous job on refactors and daily tasks.
