I think your knowledge is a bit outdated? Cursor definetley still has an edge, but VSCode Github Copilot UI has come a long way and using the same underlying models for both the results are fairly similar and change only in ux niceties

stuff like background agents cursor is way ahead.

Zed Editor is a nice contender too



I tried copilot agent like 3 weeks ago. If that much has changed since then, props to Microsoft.

Zed is very nice, it’s just a totally different workflow. I think people who work in a domain where AI is not particularly strong would be better off with Zed, since Cursor’s way of reviewing edits is a little clumsy.


yeah tbh copilot is really not -that great- compared to both cursor or zed.

But i tihnk that's UX polish they can fix it if they cared

we'll see i guess maybe MS prefers to just buy them out?

Cursor getting out of price tho
