What is Cursor best for?
A code editor built around repo-aware chat, inline edits, and fast refactors when you want AI inside the development loop. On woska, Cursor sits in the Coding & Dev category as an AI-first product, and at $20/mo it is worth weighing against the manual work it replaces. The practical question is less whether Cursor produces output and more whether it fits writing, reviewing, debugging, and refactoring code with less context switching without adding another disconnected step.
