Cursor
AI-first VS Code fork — Composer agent edits across files, tab completion, inline chat.
Add Cursor to your hut →Cursor is an AI-native code editor built as a fork of VS Code. Its defining feature is Composer — an agentic mode that reads your entire codebase, plans multi-file edits, and executes them. The tab completion is context-aware enough to predict entire functions based on what you're working on. Most developers switch from VS Code because Cursor's context window covers the whole repo, not just the open file.
The free tier is capable; Pro ($20/mo) unlocks unlimited AI requests and the strongest model versions including Claude and GPT-4o. Most often compared to Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf — also agentic, slightly different UX) and GitHub Copilot (broader IDE support, more conservative editing style).
