🏄‍♀️ Windsurf VS Cursor – Beautiful Code #22

A few days ago, I came across the news about a new code editor that, just like Cursor, works with artificial intelligence: Windsurf by Codeium.

Hey! It’s Marc 👋

A few days ago, I came across the news about a new code editor that, just like Cursor, works with artificial intelligence: Windsurf by Codeium.

While they may seem similar at first glance, they have quite different approaches. Cursor is a code editor based on VS Code that integrates AI to help you code faster—generating code, explaining complex functions, and even debugging errors. On the other hand, Windsurf is designed for teams, with a strong focus on collaboration, AI-assisted code reviews, and project management for development workflows.

Two tools that harness the power of AI, but with different goals: individual productivity vs. team efficiency. 🚀🌊

I’ve been using Cursor for a few months now, and I’m really happy with how it works and how it helps me in my daily work.

Have you heard of them? Do you use either one? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
