Three tools, three philosophies. I spent 3 months using them in parallel on real projects. Nuanced verdict with concrete use cases.
In 2026 the question is no longer "should I use AI in my IDE?" but "which one?"
Cursor: AI everywhere but you drive. Claude Code: give an objective, agent executes. Windsurf: hybrid with Cascade planning and acting.
80% Cursor for targeted tasks, 15% Claude Code for cross-cutting missions, 5% Windsurf for Go/Rust sessions.
Two years after AutoGPT hype, here is what AI agents can really do in production — and what still fails systematically.
From Copilot to Claude, AI assistants radically changed how I code in 2026. Concrete feedback after 18 months of daily production use.
Honest benchmark on 40 real tasks: refactor, debug, API generation, framework migration. Unvarnished verdict between the three generative AI giants.
I design and ship tailor-made applications. 9 years of experience. Let's talk over a coffee (or a call).
