Who it's for
Individual developers and teams who want a dedicated AI-native code editor (rather than a plugin bolted onto an existing IDE) with fast agentic edits, multi-model choice, and a growing extension ecosystem.
Who it's not for
Developers committed to staying in JetBrains or VS Code with a lightweight extension, rather than switching their primary editor, should look elsewhere, since Cursor requires adopting its own editor.
