Cursor
Best for: AI-first editing, agent-driven coding
Our take
AI-first code editor built on VS Code, with agents that work across your whole codebase, locally and in the cloud. Since October 2026, new Cursor plans are sold through The X Subscription, bundled with xAI's Grok. Best for: developers who want an editor designed around AI agents.
