By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“If you want a state-of-the-art, everyday editor that manages your entire workspace effortlessly: Go with Cursor.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · AI coding · comparative prompt · first choice
“likely to be GitHub Copilot Business or Cursor Business, depending on the specific needs and budget” Llama 4 Maverick · AI coding · direct prompt · first choice

And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“avoid standard free-tier or public instances of major AI coding assistants (such as GitHub Copilot standard, Cursor, or Windsurf)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · AI coding · negative prompt · hard negative
“Over 30 vulnerabilities reported; 100% of tested AI IDEs were vulnerable to chained prompt injection and auto-approved tool calls” GLM 4.7 FlashX · AI coding · negative prompt · hard negative
“Documented security incidents involving insufficient boundaries and autonomous actions” Kimi K2 · AI coding · negative prompt · hard negative

Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Cursor's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Cursor, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at cursor.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.
Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
