Cursor is one of the original AI code editors (2023 was a long time ago!) and has stood the test of time. It's a VS Code fork, which was key for me. I lean on @VS Code extensions and custom shortcuts. I was able to keep all of them (there is a migration assistant) when moving over to Cursor.
Cursor is very much an editor for looking at code as opposed to a vibe coding tool like @v0 by Vercel. My typical modes of using cursor are:
Describe a feature or a bug using Agent mode in the right sidebar.
Review diff + use AI autocomplete in editor.
I review every line of code an agent outputs. And I find myself editing code quite a bit. The agent still outputs code that is too verbose and, sometimes, not maintainable.
The price is nice too. $20/month is very reasonable.
Really cool. Congrats on the launch, Justin. Most of what my team ships internally is agent-written now and the review step is the part that hasn't caught up, so that's where I'll be testing this.
I'm now a daily user of github stacked PRs feature, excited to try this.
DiffSense
Love the new beta stacked feature in github, as long as you dont need to rebase :D. How does this stacked feature in the new cursor origin compare?
Appwrite
Excited to see this launch, team! Definitely arrives at a necessary time.
We're working on an integration to allow automatic deployments of sites and functions on Appwrite from Origin, would love to connect with any relevant engineering/DevRel team members about the same.

My entire codebase is now officially cursor-native: cursor + grok-bot + origin and bugbot
Mine
Can't wait to test it!
Love that Origin puts the repo right next to the agents working on it instead of treating agent workflows as an afterthought bolted onto a human-first forge.
