Hey everyone,


I wanted to share my honest thoughts and experiences using Cursor AI, an AI-powered code editor that has significantly boosted my productivity over the last few months.


Cursor is based on VSCode but includes a deeply integrated AI assistant. You can ask it to explain code, debug, generate new components, refactor, or even explore files—all without switching tabs or context.


🔍 Key features I personally love:


  • Right-click + explain any piece of code instantly
  • Auto-complete entire functions or files using natural language
  • Chat inside your editor with a memory of your codebase
  • Supports almost every modern language (I use it with PHP, JavaScript, and Python)

🧠 Why it’s better than just using ChatGPT separately:


  • Cursor understands your actual project structure and file tree
  • You don’t have to copy-paste code between browser and editor
  • It remembers context from other files

✅ Some real use cases:


  • Fixed a broken Laravel route in seconds
  • Generated optimized SQL queries for WooCommerce projects
  • Helped me refactor legacy PHP code with fewer bugs

💡 Tip: If you're working on client projects or large codebases, Cursor saves a lot of time and makes onboarding smoother.


Let me know if you're using it too or if you have any questions about setup, features, or use cases. Happy to help or share more!

I was editing WooCommerce plugin. One file had 20,000 rows. Cursor couldn't read it and gave me code to insert. Any way we can let cursor read long code file Thanks

But the ChatGPT extension for VS Code can do the same. Also has an agent feature that allows you to remember previous talks and also has access to the file structure which allows it to edit files instead of just replying with code snippets

I mean in the end this comes down to your own preference. I have already setup VS Code with my preferred extensions and I'm using it for all my codings. So I don't see the point in switching to a new editor if my currently used editor can do the same

Does Chatgpt extention can read whole VS code? I was editing Woocommerce plugin as one file has 20,000 lines code, Cursor couldn't read it. Will I be able to solve through Chatgpt?

Chat GPT can read the whole codebase. I never tried editing a 20k lines file to be honest so I cannot say anything about that
