Cursor
Cursor blends fast autocomplete, multi-file agent runs, and @-style codebase references so you rarely leave the editor to understand or refactor large trees.
Windsurf
Windsurf emphasizes long sessions, cascade-style edits, and context that follows you across files—aimed at teams that want an agentic pair programmer without constant re-prompting.
Zed
Zed focuses on low-latency editing and shared sessions; AI features stay inside the buffer so you can ask for refactors or explanations without leaving the file tree you already trust.
