Summary by Editor

1. 1

   Cursor - The power-user's AI editor: a VS Code fork with best-in-class autonomous agents that run in parallel across branches, cloud-based headless agents for CI, and Bugbot for automated PR review — ideal for teams that want deep agentic coding with enterprise controls (SSO, SCIM, audit logs).

2. 2

   Google Antigravity - Google's agent-first IDE stands out with cross-surface agentic control spanning editor, terminal, and browser simultaneously, an Agent Manager for multi-agent orchestration, and browser-in-the-loop automation — best for developers invested in the Google/Gemini ecosystem who want end-to-end workflow automation.

3. 3

   VS Code - The foundational open-source editor with the largest extension marketplace (80,000+), native GitHub Copilot integration supporting multiple AI models, and multi-agent session management — the most versatile and customizable choice, especially if you want maximum flexibility and zero cost.

4. 4

   Windsurf - An AI-native IDE whose Cascade agent excels at multi-step autonomous tasks with automatic lint error fixing, an adaptive model router that picks the best model per task, and the strongest enterprise compliance story (SOC 2, FedRAMP High, HIPAA) — ideal for regulated industries and teams that value flow-state coding with built-in MCP server curation.
