💬 User Experience Review
After switching to Cursor from VS Code, the transition was seamless thanks to full extension compatibility. The AI understands my codebase deeply, making multi-file refactors feel like having a senior developer pair programming with me. The Cmd+K inline editing became my most-used feature within the first day.
