Best
I started using Cursor at the end of last year, but now I prefer Windsurf. In comparison, the agent capabilities of Windsurf are much stronger than those of Cursor. For instance, Cursor sometimes halts subsequent operations due to being unable to locate files or for other reasons. However, the agent of Windsurf can indeed perform more tasks, saving a great deal of effort.

The standout feature of Cursor is it's precision in identifying the exact code responsible for a bug or error. It makes half of debugging way simpler.

Cursor is the best way to coding with AI.and I believe it will be more stronger everyday.
Unpopular opinion and I'm sure a lot of people might not agree with me but I personally believe that these AI coding tools are only amazing for folks with good amount of experience in the industry.
For all the veterans in the tech industry using these AI tools, it will just dumb you down in the long run. And I say this as a mentor not a hater. Cheers!

I've been using it, and I can't stop tab.

What makes Cursor genuinely agentic rather than just autocomplete-with-extra-steps is the Agent mode — it can read error output, search the codebase, run terminal commands, and iterate on its own without needing confirmation at every step. The multi-file context awareness is where it pulls ahead in practice, since most real bugs aren't isolated to one file and require understanding how modules relate to each other. As someone building ML projects, I've found it particularly useful for refactoring data pipeline code where changes ripple across multiple files. Curious how the agent decides when to stop iterating and hand back control — that threshold between autonomous and collaborative feels like the hardest UX problem to get right in any coding agent.
