I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects. However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?) I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE. Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!
Last month, Cursor launched for the fifth time on Product Hunt in 2025.
The 2024 Product of the Year [1] still hits the charts. They have launched web and mobile agents, a visual editor, and 2.0, consistently ranking in the Top 5 Products of the Day.
Reviewers largely see Cursor as a fast, practical AI coding editor that fits naturally into real development work, with strong codebase awareness, useful multi-file edits, and an interface that helps people stay in flow. Users repeatedly say it speeds up debugging, refactoring, prototyping, and feature work, and even lowers the barrier for non-engineers. Makers of Base44 and Vozo AI — Video localization echo that it helps teams prototype quickly. The main complaints are unstable or unclear pricing, occasional bugs or crashes, some latency, and AI output that can be verbose, inconsistent, or need careful review.
