Cursor - AI-Powered IDE

I can't imagine coding without Cursor anymore. It's not just an autocomplete, it's a whole new way of interacting with code. The Composer feature is mind-blowing.

Cursor is showing us what the future of IDEs looks like. It's fast, intuitive, and the AI integration is seamless.

Just built a whole feature in 10 minutes with Cursor. The 'vibe coding' is real.

The spiritual successor to Atom, built in Rust for extreme performance. Features built-in AI collaboration and supports multiple LLMs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.).
