• the best
• works best for coders and not such a good fit for non coders
• can assist, autocomplete, refactor and even build entire modules/projects Here its been asked to migrate from Tailwind v3 to v4

Status: active — and now SpaceX-owned (deal signed, closing Q3 2026). The “possibly soon non-independent” line from when this was last updated has now happened: on June 16, 2026 — days after SpaceX’s record IPO — SpaceX (Musk, post-xAI-merger) exercised its option to acquire Cursor/Anysphere for $60B in an all-stock deal, the largest venture-backed startup acquisition ever (Reuters/CNBC/Forbes), set to close in Q3 2026. Cursor had $1B+ ARR (Nov 2025) and was mid-raise at a ~$50B valuation when SpaceX came calling; it also acqui-hired Continue.dev (June 2026) in the same window. The product keeps shipping — Composer (its AI model) is now being integrated toward xAI’s stack, per CEO Michael Truell.

• Revenue ramp: ~$2B annualized revenue by Feb 2026, ~$3B by late April, and ~$4B by early June 2026 (with ~75% from business/enterprise clients) — one of the fastest revenue ramps in software history.
• Valuation trail: ~$29B (late 2025) → ~$50B (the raise SpaceX superseded in April 2026) → $60B all-stock (the SpaceX deal).
• Product: still the VS Code fork, now heavily agentic (Composer, background/cloud agents); the main 2026 narrative is enterprise + the “vibe coding productivity paradox” debate around it.
