> Cursor Vs Windsurf my honest review as a Windsurf user trying out cursor for one day.

Windsurf lately has been releasing out very attractive features, BUT one thing made me SWITCH INSTANTLY to cursor.

CODEBASE CONTEXT. Winner Cursor. :100:

I have been a windsurf user for months, but in one day, Cursor transformed my endless work on Windsurf in very very very short and efficient work.
In one prompt with cursor, i solved problems that would have taken me an unimaginable amount of work with Windsurf.

Windsurf however was good at generating quick frontend with complete designs.
But if you are truly working on real functionality there is no debate.
Cursor easily wins.

I hope i helped some of you that were doubting about which IDE to choose.
And no guys, i’m not biased and its not the ai model that made me change my mind because i’ve been using claude 3.7 on both, try it out yourself :wink:

Cursor understands the context of all your app, don’t forget to ask it to scan your codebase.

Enjoy vibe coding :heart_hands:

My honest comment

Interesting, they didn’t censor post about water competitor, they usually delete them. Oh, it is a positive post for Cursor. I guess they only delete or shadowban negative posts about Cursor, like About "Cost update for GPT-4.1 and o4-mini".
