LOL dude, yes! I was shocked in the same way as you. Endless UX issues and failing on simple changes. Crazy to see the quality difference despite both using Sonnet 3.5

Adam ᯅ1 year ago

had the same issue with hallucination even after providing the context from the documentation. tagging web into cursor and asking it to reference the latest doc worked first try.

Congrats to @cursor_ai and @windsurf_ai While we may all have access to o3 like reasoning soon, the real magic will happen with extensions, memory, and UX. Healthy competition drives us all to innovate - excited to see what's ahead! 🚀 @mariorod1

Great vid, thanks! I wanted to switch back to vscode for a bit to try claude there, but now I don't need to 😅

Shoudn't you comparing both free and both lower cost plan side by side instead?

Akshay1 year ago

Yes this was my experience as well, it's super slow and pretty bad at editing. The auto complete works like 20% of the time and other times it just gets in the way. Sticking to @cursor_ai for now.

I was just as shocked. I’ve never tried copilot before and now that I have, I didn’t miss much 😅

Copilot versus Cursor: (This is so embarrassing for Copilot) I opened the same project in Visual Studio Code and Cursor. I asked both agents to complete the same task: • Cursor: 34 seconds • Visual Studio Code: 122 seconds (4x slower!) At this point, Copilot is so behind Cursor that it's sad to even remember they were once ahead.

Windsurf is the iPhone of AI code editors. It's cheaper than Cursor too, but is it better overall? By popular request, here's my in-depth review:

TikTok just forked VS Code?! ByteDance launched Trae - an AI code editor meant to compete with Cursor, Copilot and Windsurf. I gave it a shot and it's very close to Cursor - especially the Agent mode.

You can build iOS apps with Cursor and Claude AI even as a beginner You got SwiftUI for UI/animations, GitHub Copilot for code completion, ChatGPT for reading files in Xcode and Cursor Composer for writing code for you. I'm teaching all that in my new course

working with cloud agents in cursor feels the same as local, but the fact that i can shut down my computer and still have it running is amazing. one of my favorite use cases is planning in cursor, then send off to cloud agent for impl. here's a short demo

In <8 min I built a basic Airbnb app using Cursor. I use Cursor Projects to scaffold out snippets that I can use anytime I need new features. Stop overthinking it and let the AI work for you. This is next level building.

today i feel reborn as I discover you can do this on Clip Studio: Go to Preferences>Cursor Details and now the cursor will have a dynamic display like PS. The cursor will change size, thickness and direction according to the pen pressure and angle dynamics of the brush.
