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