Cursor 2.0's three headline features: the Composer model at 4x speed (250 tokens/sec), 8 parallel agents in worktree isolation, and Plan Mode (Shift+Tab) that generates editable Markdown plans with Mermaid architecture diagrams before writing code. Subagents can spawn their own subagents, creating trees of coordinated work.
For long-running tasks ($200/mo tier), agents can run autonomously for 52+ hours across 1,000+ commits/hour. The workflow upgrade most developers are sleeping on: Press Shift+Tab before your next multi-file feature. The Mermaid diagrams alone are worth the extra 30 seconds.
