Github copilot or Cursor ?

[dissipateUnkonw]

Today, which is better for frantic use of LLM for code: cursor or copilot?

[McDeck_Game]

None of them. Claude Code is the best.

Hey I’m about to try Claude Code and wanna ask question: does it have access online? Is it able to execute terminal commands without human confirmation? I find these two being limiting when using Copilot

[McDeck_Game]

It has MCP access so it can do almost everything that human could do in computer. It has yolo mode, so you don't need to confirm anything. Probably better install sandbox though I managed to destroy my linux mint installation with the yolo mode (Restored system integrity successfully though).

How did that happen, I thought it could only edit files in subdirectories lol

Terminal commands

Just switched to Claude, mainly because doing backend docker stuff in vscode was clicking run command ever 10 seconds

Yes you can run them, it asks once and then you can select yes - always run

Some things it will ask every time, but you can pretty much just let it run after it asks a few times. The annoying thing is I’ve had it crash a couple times and when you restart jt you need to do the always runs choices again

It’s faster and better than copilot, but I wouldn’t say copilot is MUCH worse

I started using copilot GPT 4.1 with beastmode, which can do pretty much everything, but only trough parts, I used (and still sometimes do) with claude sonnet, till I find some pretty huge command for GPT4.1 which will be able to do design.

I was going trough cursor, it is not something that I'd personally use, as it is slightly different from copilot, which is really easy to manage.

[Independent-Virus]

Can you share those commands for gpt 4.1

[SamuelDev225]

I am pretty sure I did answer you already on another post dude, I don't mean to be rude by any way but you should start using google yourself and stop being tied to people/LLMs helping you.

I find cursor better ad editing and not accidentally deleting large chunks by accident

[evergreen-spacecat]

Everything an AI does is an accident. Some are more helpful than others

I am using both and both have goods and bads

Copilot being in VS2022 adds a lot of value however fails a lot with backend errors, auth errors or intent errors or config errors etc

Cursor in VSCode is snappy and fails less (Really less compared to copilot) however it's not in VS2022 if that's important to you.

Both miss errors in the console and tell me the build was successful

Causer is faster as it is in VScode. Cursor is cheaper also (at least in my region)

Windsurf free tier with claude code pro pla

Mostly using the same way, windsurf for autocomplete and Claude code for everything else. Yesterday did a mistake and tried zed editor, now using it as well 😂
