Cursor

What do you like best about the product?

Probably the coolest, best, and most satisfying software I have used my entire life. When I first started using Cursor, I felt young again, full of optimism, curiosity and a willingness to learn more. Without a doubt, my highest recommendation. This is my first-ever review on G2 and I couldn't be more pleased than to offer my first review for Cursor with a 10/10.

What do you dislike about the product?

I give a 10/10 without any dislikes about Cursor. It is simply that good.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I spent 10 years using WordPress. Cursor opened up a whole new world for me, allowing me to vibe-code anything I put my mind to, using advanced tech-stacks I previously could only dream about using. It really is amazing.

What do you like best about the product?

I love the composer model in Cursor because it's cheaper and works really well. Many cloud-based models like Opus are expensive, but Cursor is very affordable and perfect for me. I switched from Visual Studio to Cursor because it's cheaper and easy to use. The initial setup of Cursor was very easy.

What do you dislike about the product?

All works really well

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Cursor for faster development with AI agents. It's cheaper, easy to use, and sets up very easily.

What do you like best about the product?

Understanding the project context, handling the back-end implementation, and creating clear, well-structured documentation that best supports the software.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it feels over-engineered, and the frontend design is not up to the mark.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Syntax… and also defining the project structure when a reference folder is provided.

What do you like best about the product?

One of the things I love most about Cursor is its ability to access the whole repo. This feature is extremely empowering, especially for someone like me who doesn't come from a traditional coding background. It helps me understand and trace the logic we've implemented, which is incredibly helpful during the alpha stage of prototyping. Cursor's capability to refactor and rename things across multiple files is huge for my workflow. It also enhances debugging by allowing me to keep iterating and finding solutions in real time. Additionally, I love how Cursor can show me the code like a more classical coding tool, helping me grow into understanding and taking control of my code. Its ability to help prototype bits and prove workflows possible is also amazing. Overall, Cursor is extremely helpful for my development in an entrepreneurial sense within the company.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think one of the biggest challenges with Cursor is that it can lead to code that becomes really bloated and messy, what the other developer called 'spaghetti code.' We had to bring another developer to fix and make the code more maintainable. The advice I got about whether to keep things in one extension or multiple scripts led to a large amount of bloat. It would be helpful to have more human-based guide rails for maintainability, suggesting best practices for setting up projects. Without them, the AI might keep developing something that doesn't make sense and becomes unmaintainable. While Cursor can rush to a prototype, having guidance early in the process on these practices would be beneficial.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Cursor for product development, mapping products across multiple domains. It empowers me to prototype workflows, test and iterate quickly, and shift from a creator to a developer standpoint. It helps me blueprint workflows and standardize them with others.

What do you like best about the product?

I have a lot of ideas for signal analysis, but they require a lot of Python coding, which I don’t know very well. Cursor and the associated models gave me a vibe-coding approach for this purpose, and it helped me move forward with what I wanted to build.

What do you dislike about the product?

Prices are too high, and the token limit for Plus users is very limited.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was mainly focused on coding, but I also learned a lot about topics I didn’t know well enough before. It really helped widen my scope and understanding.
