Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI for writing code faster?
Cursor is the most mature IDE for coding with AI daily, with fine understanding of project context. GitHub Copilot remains the most widespread reference and integrates with most editors. Windsurf (Codeium) is a solid and free alternative to start.
Do you need to change editors to use code AI?
Not necessarily: GitHub Copilot and Tabnine install as extensions in VS Code or JetBrains. Cursor and Windsurf (Codeium) are standalone editors based on VS Code, worth trying if you want deeper AI integration.
