Cursor 1.0 Just Dropped: Can It Finally Compete with Windsurf?
Cursor just hit version 1.0, and it’s aiming higher than ever. With background agents, GitHub code reviews, memory support, and cleaner MCP integration, it’s clear Cursor wants to move beyond just being an AI-powered IDE.
Cursor reached a round version of 1.0 and is catching up with Windsurf, that lately is quite popular. In the new release we find some interesting solutions.
BugBot
It’s a bot for GitHub for code reviews. It’s like a basic alternative to CodeRabbit.
Background Agent
Background agents were in beta, but now are available to all users. What background agents do is edit code and run the app in an isolated Ubuntu system. So theoretically it should be possible for them to fetch your repo and just do tickets for you without interfering with your current work.
The background agent by default runs in an isolated machine which is set up with an ubuntu-based image. The background agent has access to the internet and can install packages required to run your app.
