Hey everyone!
I’m a freelance dev looking to switch from raw VS Code to an AI-powered setup.
Been hearing a lot about:
– Cursor
– Windsurf (formerly Codeium)
– CoDev
Which one is actually worth the subscription???
I mainly do:
– React/Next.js frontend
– Some Node.js backend
– Occasional Python scripts
Budget is fine if the tool is good enough lol
Thanks in advance! 🙏
college student learning to code here 👋
i use Cursor and it’s been a GAME CHANGER for learning.
like, i can see what the AI is doing and actually learn from it? that’s huge for beginners.
windurf looks cool but haven’t tried. CoDev seems too complicated for me lol
for newbies: just start with Cursor. free tier is generous enough.
btw anyone know if these work for learning or just for “real” devs? genuinely asking 😅
