AI code editor
Cursor: when to use it and where it fits.
An AI-first code editor for people who want chat, file context, and code changes inside the editor.
Best fit: Use it when you want AI to read a project, edit multiple files, and keep you close to the diff.
What it is good for
- Useful for ai coding when the tool has a clear job instead of being added just because it is popular.
- Useful for repo-aware chat when the tool has a clear job instead of being added just because it is popular.
- Useful for editor workflow when the tool has a clear job instead of being added just because it is popular.
How to evaluate it
Do not judge the tool from a demo alone. Test it on one real workflow, save the output, and compare the result against the time you would have spent doing the work manually.
