My Thoughts After Using Cursor for 3 Weeks
I switched over after using Copilot in VS Code.
The best part is definitely working across multiple files at once. When refactoring, if I say, "Change this function signature and find every call site and update them," it actually does it. Before, I'd open files one by one and copy-paste, but that time is gone now.
What's lacking is that it sometimes loses context in large projects. I've seen it create a similar new utility function even though an existing one was already there. So I always review the final diff myself.
Overall, it seems well worth the 20,000 won a month.

But isn't 20,000 won a month more expensive than Copilot? I'm curious why you think it's worth the price difference. I'm still fine with Copilot, so I haven't found a reason to switch.
Agreed, multi-file editing is the real deal.
Ultimately, the key seems to be actually looking at the diff yourself. Many people think AI does everything and skip reviewing, but that’s the most dangerous thing.
Got a source? Three weeks seems a bit short.
I ran into the same issue with it losing context, but after adding a rule to .cursorrules to “search for existing utilities and reuse them first,” it definitely decreased. Just adding a few lines explaining the project structure can change the quality of the diff. Give it a try.
