What 192 Arbolus experts think of Cursor
NPS scores are overwhelmingly positive, with over 80% of experts rating 8 or above and many giving a 9 or 10. Nearly all high-spend and renewal-intent users report clear productivity improvements and workflow benefits. Renewal intent is strong among influential buyers and technical leaders, with only a minority expressing uncertainty or intent not to renew—often tied to budget or security concerns. Stickiness is supported by feedback on rapid onboarding, feature depth, and codebase awareness, though large codebase performance and cost management are noted as occasional friction points. Feedback themes spotlight agentic workflow speed, onboarding ease, and measurable time savings. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
