Mate I like you knowledge sharing video about AI like this and the RAG one. Please make more of this kind of video.

No WSL support yet?

I use gpt o1-preview a bit during the design phase. Its answers are pretty good, but the details are still 100% wrong, all of the time. At best, it throws in some decent ideas, wrapped in a pile of inaccurate and misleading ideas. The rest of my workload has increased dramatically thanks to AI - other devs using cursor and whatever else to generate “almost done” patches that need to be reviewed.. fixed .. or just rewritten from scratch The number of PRs per sprint has gone up, but productivity- if measured in terms of production quality releases - is way in the toilet

5 minutes to write code, and 30 minutes of debugging a button...

I have $220 maxed out Cursor account. Can’t go over at 5000 fast requests. I would give Cursor a 2.5 at this point and Windsurf and Aide a 1 for new idea teasers and starting competition.

This is an excellent comparison. I'll still stick to cursor for now despite the v0.43 fiasco. Windsurf is around two weeks old afaik and looks so promising though. Edit: I gave Windsurf a try. The lack of WSL support is a massive dealbreaker for me. Will be sticking with cursor for now. Had high hopes going in. What a shame.

"These software need more human interaction" , then proceeds to read from chatgpt 😂. Loved the quick overview of each software tho. Much love.❤

i've been using it for at least 10 days! i used cursor before! i find windsurfing superior in the quality of the results

It started out good and then seemed to stop inserting code for me. I tried many things. And it also seemed to not perform as well over time like it swtiched away from claude to GPT4 which isn't nearly as good.

Great video! How about a similar review of Cline? Price is also an important factor. Cursor is after all, twice the cost of Windsurf, and cline is free (*) 😅

Thanks for the review. Seems fair and balancer to me. I just completed my first 10kLoC of Rust written by Windsurf. Basically, Windsurf nailed it most of the time. It wrote the implementation, all tests, all docs, all examples, benchmarks, profiled, and optimized the code. My favorite feature is that it can summarize all commits of the day as a well formatted PR message, which really makes a difference since I would otherwise write a one liner. The other thing that still boggles my my mind is that Windsurf somehow found a SIMD equivalent optimization that works on X86 and ARM64 even without using the underlying intrinsics. This is so next level that it's a very safe bet that in about a year or two, the vast majority of all software will be written by AI.

Thanks for all you do and helping this SQL Developer get started with these awesome AI coding tools. Also, thanks for not creating click-bait and giving honest opinions.

This is what a review should be about not emotional click-baitey mess like Theo's pseudo-review. Bro should just stick to article recitation like Primeagen.

I don't like Windsurf much for now, BUT I'm sure it'll be much better than Cursor in nearest future. I just today realized that Windsurf is only two weeks after first release and Cursor is more than 1.5 years. So I'm excited to following up for releases and continue to compare them. For now I'm using both on Pro paid period.

Both very good but have some issues. Another objective Cursor vs Windsurf review: ruclips.net/video/duLRNDa-CR0/видео.html

WIND SURF!

Thanks for this. So many so-called “Cursor Killers” out there, but nothing comes close. Great to find an honest RUclipsr who knows his stuff. I tried running on the API key for a day. I burned through $45 in 6 hours. So Cursors $20 a month is a bargain. If it saved only 30 minutes a month compared to VSCode, it’s worth it.

I found out that you have to be very specific znd the cascade will do wonders for you

Great review . Your experience is similar to mine

as a beginner ,who can tell me choose which one

Very good review. Worth noticing as well you can lose time with some of those tools by actually hiting your head on the wall sometimes instead of getting the job done “by hand”

The new cursor release is wonky.

Thanks for comparing in details, really useful. I noticed that Windsurf is buggy in Windows but works perfectly in MacOS, I have no idea why but i hope some1 can confirm this

really great review, thank you!!. For a full-time developer, the 20-dollar plan of Cursor with a limit of 500 requests per month feels too restrictive. On the other hand, Windsurf is only 10 dollars per month with no request limit, making it far superior at the moment. (Of course, I understand this might not be a sustainable pricing model.) I think it would have been better if the video mentioned Windsurf's overwhelming advantage in terms of request limits at this point. I have a question: Does Cursor's 40-dollar plan allow for almost unlimited requests, or is there a limit of 1,000 requests?

Nocode builder, windsurf is easy to use esp with large projects, in cursor I seem to hit limit faster for free plan. Context+ file structure+codes+dependencies= you're done.

I'm a Pro subscriber to Cursor. Would definitely try Windsurf but they lack WSL support which is a no-go. They also lack multimodal prompt capabilities. Cline: heard a lot of good things but it didn't produce a working program for me where cursor did. So I'll be with cursor for the moment.

Windsurf a like so much cuz the app read all my folders in the project

Good review. But there are seven hundred million code editors being released every day, so you'll have to make a lot of videos if you really want to create a reliable score that tells us which tool is the best. Bolt, for instance, is one of those apps that are becoming popular and already has a few forks.

Volo, you have done a fantastic and great job. Thanks for such content. Keep up the good work, your opinion and experience are very important and interesting.

I think this is a fair review from an experienced developer. For me as a non programmer windsurf pulls way ahead simply because I was able to make my first app and have zero programming knowledge or even how to use VS code interface. I tried cursor and while the interface was the same the experience was not. I think a fair way to describe the experience is Cursor is like driving a manual transmission while Windsurf is automatic, with fully autonomous driving as the holy grail we should strive for.

New update cursor sucks a lott also the @codebase is gone

​ @VoloBuilds GPT Pilot (Pythagora) is better.. Since last year it has already been integrated with most of the features mentioned in this video, in addition to being the pioneer in being 100% multi-agent based. You should seriously give it a chance.

and remember, this windsurf is like just 2weeks ages compared to cursor with 1,5 years ages based on release date. to be honest, i will stop on cursor to switch to windsurf, i had good enough experience using it. and i love the way just analyze my company project which using 2017 reactjs. yes its mixed class component and functional component, but you know cursor is stuggle to handle it, sometimes it lost to a bad decision but windsurf does well perform on it. im sure they will get better and better in term of feature, just need a little bit of time they will have the same and competitive feature compare to cursor. or might be even better ? lets wait =)) btw great video , im happy that someone take a time to do a deep comparison on it =)

Have you done a comparison with Cline?

If anyone wants to try cursor v0.43 you can go to the update page and download it from there. The main site doesnt let me download it but the update log does.

The new cursor update removed long context chats.

Great video. Usually all these youtubers, they don't bother to go to these depths, not even implementing sign up/sign in. Thanks for the video. It would be nice to add the credit system or payment system to it. Another good video idea could be to start with one of those SAAS boilerplates on github and create a SAAS out of it. You get the user management and credit systems for free with them.

That was an excellent comparison, thank you for this video, I got really good value out of it!

Windsurf, for now

This is the ONLY review I've seen where the person truly goes in-depth instead of the usual theres-a-million-ides-and-the-new-shiny-one-beats-all. Had I seen this last week I would've saved myself leaving Cursor too quickly and having Windsurf mess up a week's worth of code. Cursor IS more reliable and better. And that's not even counting the new agentic feature

Volo, thanks for the review, really helps a lot. AI IDEs are evolving very fast. I got the impression that the possibility of using a local LLM such as Qwen 2.5 7B, 32B is somehow not discussed. Although it is very important for beginners. As far as I understand Cursor can connect to a local Ollama or LM Studio server via an API Gateway such as Ngrok. Can Windsurf use local LLM?

What cursor have already 9 months

Cursor is brilliant during the initial design and implementations stages. Unfortunately, it's completely useless when the project needs redesign and refactoring. I spent a couple days carefully writing documentation that describes the basics of an application. It has interfaces and functionality that need to be implemented and then redesigned because it's not possible to foresee all the scenarios. Using the documentation to direct the initial build leads to refining the plan and rebuilding three times before the project is ready to build and refactor on the fly. During refactoring and debugging cursor fails with brilliance: Me: please read quotes.py from the filesystem Cursor: I'm scrolling up to read our conversation Me: no. read the file that I'm linking into this conversation Cursor: I'm scrolling up and see that we talked about removing javascript from edit.html. The endless mind numbing interactions during redesign and refactoring become pointless. Can I improve? I'm using Git to branch then designing and refactoring in the new branch. If this branch blows up then revert back to the working code and try again. During this rinse and repeat process Cursor becomes incapable of following the new redesign documentation and todo lists. As I am more methodical and explicit Cursor becomes inversely less capable.

Great stuff! Thanks. You gonna do a vid about Cursor Agent?

You most certainly *_CAN_* load documents into Windsurf.

This tutorial is awesome!! I am a newbie to all the tools that you have used in this tutorial. I have successfully made it till 51 mins and struggling to get past the usage of sample code that you areusing from your past work. Appreciate it if you could help me with code that is similar to the one that you have used.

Would love to see you score Cline (plugin for VSCode)

React and JS may be overwelmed for beginners - I started with python and streamlit :)

Cursor is useless! You forget to mention that cursor is 20$, windsurf 10$

2160p 4k looks good!
