Cursor (VS Code fork with deep AI integration) has reached 1M monthly active developers. Key features: (1) Tab-to-complete on steroids - predicts not just next token but entire function blocks with 85% acceptance rate (2) Cmd+K inline editing - natural language code modification (3) Agent mode - AI can autonomously run terminal commands, read/write multiple files. Adoption: 15% of professional developers use Cursor as primary editor. VS Code still at 72%. The switching cost is real: Cursor's VS Code compatibility is excellent but some extensions (Vim emulation, language servers for niche languages) have compatibility issues. Pricing: $20/month (individual), $40/month (business). Cursor raised $300M at $4B valuation. The question: is Cursor a feature (that VS Code will copy) or a product (with network effects from AI training on user code)? Microsoft is integrating similar features into VS Code directly. Cursor's moat is the latency advantage of dedicated inference infra.
