Cursor
Cursor is an AI-first code editor forked from VS Code that embeds large language models directly into the development workflow. It offers inline code generation, a chat interface with full codebase context, and an agentic mode capable of completing multi-file editing tasks autonomously. It became one of the most widely adopted AI coding environments among professional developers in 2024 and 2025, valued for how deeply AI capabilities are integrated rather than bolted on.
