Cursor is a “fork” of VS Code, but it has been modified from the roots to make AI a core part of it, not just an extension. Download it now: Cursor Editor.

What Makes Cursor Special?

  • Full Project Understanding: The AI knows all your project files and can answer questions about how they interconnect.
  • Direct Editing: You can ask to modify a part of the code and Cursor will apply it immediately, showing the changes (Diff).
  • Error Fixing: As soon as an error appears in the Terminal, Cursor can analyze it and suggest an immediate solution.

Cursor is currently the favorite among programmers looking to get the most out of models like GPT-4 and Claude 3.
