Cursor Extension Review
What do you like best about the product?
The grounding of cursor has been done near perfectly to write code and it does perform that job greatly. Cursor supports almost every LLM present there in the market but I have spent most of my time using Claude with Cursor. I believe prompt understanding is also good and it understands the codebase very well and give almost accurate suggestions. The introduction of MCP tools greatly enhances it utility.
What do you dislike about the product?
I know it is a tough ask if cursor could input more tokens than it currently incorporates that would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding and explanation of the ever expansive monolithic codebase and getting the monotonous work done earlier but now even getting some of the complex work done.

The ultimate AI-powered code editor for productivity
What do you like best about the product?
Cursor feels like having an AI coding partner built directly into your IDE. Its natural language code generation, intelligent autocompletion, and inline code explanations make problem-solving incredibly fast. I especially love how it understands my codebase context, suggests refactors, and helps debug issues in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
While powerful, Cursor can sometimes generate incorrect or overly complex code, so you still need to review its suggestions carefully. It also consumes quite a bit of system memory, and some advanced features are locked behind the Pro plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cursor solves the problem of context switching and time spent searching for solutions. Instead of jumping between my IDE, browser, and documentation, I can ask questions, generate code, and debug directly inside the editor. It helps me quickly understand complex codebases, write cleaner and more efficient code, and automate repetitive tasks like boilerplate generation or unit test creation. This has significantly boosted my productivity and reduced frustration, allowing me to focus on solving real problems rather than wrestling with syntax or searching Stack Overflow.
Best AI Code editor available
What do you like best about the product?
It combines the ease of use that everyone knows and is familiar with, having worked with VS Code, but supercharged with features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a bit high, but is surely worth the cost!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saves me a lot of time having to not worry about researching new syntax and functionalities.
The smartest AI-powered code editor I've ever used
What do you like best about the product?
I love how seamlessly Cursor integrates AI into the development workflow. The inline code suggestions are incredibly accurate, and the ability to ask questions directly in the editor saves me tons of time. It feels like pair programming with an expert developer who understands my project context.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the AI suggestions can be slightly off-target for very complex or highly specialized code, and it occasionally slows down when handling very large repositories. I’d also love to see more customization options for prompt tuning and shortcuts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cursor helps me solve two major problems: writing code faster and understanding complex codebases. It eliminates the time I usually spend searching documentation or debugging by providing context-aware suggestions and explanations directly in the editor. It also makes refactoring and learning new frameworks much easier by generating clean, optimized code. This has significantly increased my productivity, reduced errors, and allowed me to focus on building features instead of getting stuck on repetitive tasks or troubleshooting for hours.
The Future of Handovers and test UI (For Designers)
What do you like best about the product?
I use it almost every day to generate the code for designed components and help our team move faster by understanding how an element might look from the start, with all the interactive and motion we need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't work correctly when I'm adding more than one selection link from Figma. I'm trying to synthesise elements, for instance, to create a "Molecule" with two "Atoms".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can identify and fix UI issues earlier in the process and improve motion with inclusive design! Handoffs are now a piece of cake!
Solution for Development

Rapid iterations that speed up development while preserving quality
What do you like best about the product?
We rely on Cursor as a genuine co-pilot for building and deploying complex applications. From subtle syntax tweaks to multi-file refactoring, it guides our workflow and lets us iterate across tabs seamlessly, keeping the bigger picture intact and development smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the official docs help at first, mastering advanced features came mostly from trial, error, and insights shared with experienced colleagues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When building a proof of concept, Cursor quickly structures the project’s foundation, taking us from idea to prototype in minutes. It often anticipates our needs, completing code as if it were our own logic, boosting productivity while fostering a cleaner, more maintainable coding style.
Cursor: The AI editor that knows your code’s context.
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Cursor is how well it understands my code context. It doesn’t just provide generic suggestions — it gives me detailed analysis, ready-to-use code snippets, and recommendations that align with the high-level changes I want to make. This makes it feel like a true coding partner.
Since it’s built on Visual Studio Code, it feels instantly familiar and easy to use.
AI agent is well integrated and easy to use different models.
I have started using it in my all coding tasks

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Cursor could take in more context from different sources — like PRDs, design documents, or architecture notes — so that its recommendations could be even more aligned with larger goal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cursor helps me in my day-to-day work by making it easier to analyze complex code bases. Whether I’m fixing bugs, investigating backtraces, debugging core dumps, or just navigating unfamiliar parts of the code, it understands the context and provides relevant suggestions. This saves me time, reduces trial-and-error, and helps me focus more on problem-solving than on digging through code.
Very efficient tool for any coder
What do you like best about the product?
The AI-powered code completion is mind-blowing, it predicts entire test cases based on my patterns, saving hours of repetitive coding. The ability to chat with AI about my codebase is incredible. Multi-file editing is perfect for refactoring test suites across multiple files simultaneously. The context awareness is unreal, it understands my testing framework conventions and suggests appropriate assertions and mock setups. The terminal integration with AI suggestions helps debug test failures faster. The speed of generating boilerplate test code and data builders has accelerated our test coverage goals significantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the AI suggestions are overly complex for simple test cases, adding unnecessary abstractions. It occasionally generates test code with outdated patterns or deprecated methods from older framework versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cursor dramatically reduces the time I spend writing repetitive test code, it generates entire test suites with proper setup/teardown in seconds. The AI understands our testing patterns and automatically creates comprehensive edge case scenarios I might miss. Debugging test failures is faster, I can paste error logs and get instant insights about potential causes. It's eliminated the blank page problem, starting new test files is effortless with intelligent boilerplate generation. Code reviews are more efficient since it helps maintain consistent testing patterns across the team. Most importantly, it's helped junior SDETs write better tests by suggesting industry-standard practices and proper assertion patterns, effectively raising our entire team's testing quality.
