    Cursor is quite good. I think it's a powerful combination with MCP tools and rules to basically automate everything you do. MCP tools with Jira and GitHub are absolutely fantastic. Rules to make documentation and create current files form a really strong combo.

    However, there's a lot of competition in this space, and I need multi-agents or agents to operate independently on my GitHub. That's still a little ways to go. For example, if I have a database of failed unit tests, I'd like to kick off agents independently on each one instead of going through them one by one to fix those tests. There are other potential applications as well. For instance, it's really fantastic for fixing linting errors.

      I agree that Cursor is quite good! You raise a great point about needing multi-agents that can work independently. I've been wanting exactly the same thing.. imagine having agents tackling all those failed unit tests simultaneously instead of the sequential fixing we're stuck with now.

    When it comes to IDEs, Cursor still feels like the most robust and productive, so I'm sticking to it for day to day. However, Windsurf did just launched with free GPT 4.1 and 4o-mini for a week. I'll give it a try.

    Of course there's also lovable and bolt for "text to app". Great for non-programmers.

      I agree! If you have some understanding of code,cursor is by far one of the best.And for people like me(non-programmers or vibe coders),I think lovable is one of the best options.I use it every time I want to build a quick mvp and I find the output a little bit better than bolt.

    Honestly - q-cli has been my go-to. I can basically just give it a few rules, enable it to self compile & test, walk away for lunch and comeback to something that almost works...

      That seems useful, especially when you might have other things to balance and you want to get things done.

    Claude Code. You can use any editor you want.

      Interesting! What made you choose a web tool vs. something like Cursor or Windsurf
