I primarily use Cursor primarily to build applications, including front end and back end, as well as React Native apps. When using Cursor for front end and back end systems, I utilize technologies such as React.js and Next for the front end, along with Node.js and FastAPI for the back end. Cursor helps make the application development process faster and easier.

AI-assisted development has accelerated full-stack workflows and improves UI planning efficiency
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features Cursor offers include the ability to choose AI agents to work with, which provides frequent and effective AI prompting to make development easier and faster.
The AI agents in Cursor help make development faster, particularly when creating a UI. The IDE offers the context needed for error resolution directly in the terminal, which makes it easier to navigate and solve errors.
Cursor positively impacts my organization by providing great feasibility and better reliability, enabling faster development processes. Cursor has improved my productivity and time savings as it allows me to plan my UI architecture in the Plan mode, Agent mode, and Ask mode. I can execute it directly, which leads to efficient implementation.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes Cursor does get stuck, which should be addressed, though the UI remains very good.
The terminal can get stuck when there are many backend Docker processes running or when I need to check some test cases. Opening a new terminal usually resolves the issue, and this may be due to the background processes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Cursor for more than two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Cursor is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Cursor's scalability is very good, with a supportive community and team members assisting with scalability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used VS Code but switched to Cursor because, although VS Code was very good, Cursor's error caching in the terminal is very effective.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been very good. While I believe the cost of some models is a bit high, it does work for me, and the licensing is also satisfactory.
What was our ROI?
I have not seen a return on investment and cannot share relevant metrics.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been very good. While I believe the cost of some models is a bit high, it does work for me, and the licensing is also satisfactory.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Cursor, I evaluated many options including VS Code, Vim, Surf, and a Google Platform that was available.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others considering Cursor is that it is very good to use. I would recommend a context strategy to help them work effectively with the IDE.

Powerful AI Coding That Understands any Codebase and Boosts Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I really love Cursor for its powerful AI assisted coding, especially how it can understand my codebase and generate relevant code suggestions or edits instantly. In my daily work, it saves me a lot of time by helping me with debugging, writing the boilerplate code, and even explaining the complex logic step-by-step in a simple way. The UI feels clean and familiar (like the VS Code), which made it easy for me to get started without a steep learning curve while still boosting my productivity significantly
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any reason to dislike Cursor, but I sometimes find Cursor’s AI responses inconsistent, especially with more complex tasks, which means I still need to verify and refine the output sometimes. In my experience, performance can slow down when working on larger codebases, which affects the overall flow. I also feel the pricing could be more flexible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Cursor, I often struggled with writing repetitive code, debugging problems, and getting up to speed on unfamiliar codebases, and all of that used to take a lot of time. Now I can generate code quickly, get instant explanations and understand a huge codebase in a less time, and fix errors directly within the editor. This has noticeably improved my development speed. Overall, it saves me several hours each week and makes my work much more efficient, especially when I’m working on complex projects or starting something new
Powerful AI-Assisted Coding That Speeds Up Development
What do you like best about the product?
Cursor is a very powerful AI-assisted code editor that significantly speeds up development. The AI integration feels natural and is deeply embedded into the workflow, making it easy to generate code, refactor functions, or understand unfamiliar parts of a codebase. It’s especially useful for navigating large projects, where you can quickly ask questions about the code and get relevant context-aware answers.
The interface is clean and similar to Visual Studio Code, so onboarding is quick. Features like inline suggestions, chat-based assistance, and the ability to modify multiple files at once make it very efficient for day-to-day development. Overall, it helps reduce repetitive work and improves productivity.

Overall, it helps reduce repetitive work and improves productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the AI features are very helpful, they are not always perfectly accurate and still require validation. For complex or critical logic, you need to carefully review the generated code. Performance can also vary depending on project size and usage. Additionally, relying heavily on AI suggestions may reduce deeper understanding if not used carefully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cursor helps reduce the time spent on repetitive coding tasks, debugging, and understanding existing codebases. It allows developers to quickly generate code, refactor functions, and get explanations without leaving the editor. This speeds up development cycles, improves productivity, and makes it easier to work across unfamiliar parts of a project. It also helps onboard new team members faster by providing quick insights into the codebase.
Quick Code and File Generation, but Decent Models Cost Too Much

Addressing bugs and building solutions from scratch
Old-School UI, Lightning-Fast Performance, and Valuable Composer 2 Feedback
What do you like best about the product?
It is a new way of programming. It helps when I need it but does not come pushy with proposing changes. The UI is old school, but I like it this way. I've been suing Visual Studio before I found them pretty similar. I was able to download my old setup so I did not need to configure it all over again. Performance is great - I get responses really fast. I like the Composer 2 (AI model) feedback on multiple files (to be able to comprehend the full project).
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest I did not find anything that I would not like. Composer 2 AI model is quite expensive but compared to Auto (which is usually Claude or OpenAI) it really shows the value. I did not need any help with the setup -as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a life changer for bigger projects. I build a whole new repository with Cursor. It is helping be to adjust the project structure when I make changes. Some of the changes in the scripts are also affective local databases (JSONs) and my documentation filed (Markdown) and knows about that correlation and makes the changes all together. I like the fast that I no longer need to use the console as it checks the files for me, it pulls and pushes the changes to the repo. Setup is as quick as it could be.
