Cursor IDE

Cursor has become one of the most popular tools in the vibecoding ecosystem. It combines the familiar VS Code editing experience with deeply integrated AI capabilities, allowing developers to generate entire files, refactor existing code, and debug issues through natural language chat. Cursor supports multiple AI models and can understand the full context of a project, making its suggestions more relevant than generic code completion tools.

For vibecoders, Cursor is particularly powerful because it enables a conversational approach to building software. You can describe a feature, see the AI generate the code, ask for modifications, and iterate rapidly. This tight feedback loop means applications can be built in hours or days rather than weeks or months.

Apps built with Cursor still need thorough testing. The speed of development can create a false sense of confidence, and the AI-generated code may contain edge cases or integration issues that only surface during real user interaction. DidItWork testers regularly evaluate Cursor-built applications and know the common patterns and pitfalls specific to this tool.
