Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Integrates well with my IDE (VS Code), can scan my repo, understands context, i can undo any changes it has made with one click, can build a full app from scratch with my prompts and directions.

Cons

  • NO CLI capability yet which I think this is where Claude Code excels better. I think the Amazon team should find a way to integrate the CLI feature into Amazon Q.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Cursor is one of the best AI coding tools because it feels built around how developers actually work. It is not just autocomplete; it can understand a repo, make edits, explain code, help debug, and work through bigger tasks with an agentic workflow. I like that it combines the familiar feel of a code editor with deeper AI features like Agent mode, project rules, MCP, skills, and CLI support. That makes it useful for everyday coding, but also flexible enough for more advanced workflows. The model options and pricing controls are also helpful. Being able to choose stronger or cheaper models depending on the task makes Cursor easier to fit into a real development routine.
  • I'm a novice to intermediate programmer and I've always felt a bit overwhelmed by editors. I've been learning to code by copy and pasting a million times into chatgpt. Switching to cursor saves me so much time, and I love how easy it is to give it the context. It has this awesome feature where you can upload docs into it and it can go pull the docs when answering questions, which was one of my biggest pain points as a user when AI would give me old docs or out of date code. Another epic feature was the natural language terminal commands, which have allowed me to get through projects i previously would get stuck on.

Cons

  • I don't have any cons about Cursor. Use it daily in my development.
  • No IDE is perfect, but this one is by far my favorite. I think most of the cons lie in the limitations of the AI models right now. I think the code interpreter is a littley sketchy to use becuase it's hard to see exactly what code its suggesting I change so I ran into some issues when using it without double checking the work, but it also saved me in a couple spots I got stuck.
