Cursor completely changed how I code. The Composer feature lets me refactor entire modules by just describing what I want.

Great for Python and notebook work. The tab completions are addictive. Only downside is occasional slowness with very large files.

Rolled Cursor out to our entire 15-person eng team. Productivity jumped measurably. The business plan is well worth it.
