The AI IDE war is on. We shipped the same feature with each major tool.

GitHub Copilot

Still the default for enterprise; strong autocomplete and chat.

Best multi-file edits via Composer; the developer favorite.

Cascade agent finishes tasks with less hand-holding.

Free forever tier is unbeatable for solo devs.

Terminal + Git nerds will love it.

Cursor and Windsurf are neck and neck; try both free.

No — it's the safest enterprise choice.

Aider and Cline support BYO keys.
