Ask HN: Cursor or Windsurf?

Things are changing so fast with these vscode forks I m barely able to keep up. Which one are you guys using currently? How does the autocomplete etc, compare between the two?

Zed. They've upped their game in the AI integration and so far it's the best one I've seen (external from work). Cursor and VSCode+Copilot always felt slow and janky, Zed is much less janky feels like pretty mature software, and I can just plug in my Gemini API key and use that for free/cheap instead of paying for the editor's own integration.

Does it have Cursor’s “tab” feature?

Sort of. The quality is light and day different (cursor feels like magic, Zed feels like a chore).

Yep I want Zed to win but it has not yet become my daily driver
