Are you using Cursor or Windsurf?
With development of AI, the code editors are also evolving. Originally Microsoft offered Github Copilot which can help complete code by giving instructions on what needs to be done. Now Cursor and Windsurf are going one step further which can also help edit code instead of just completing code. Have you started to use these new editors? Which one are you using? And good or bad thing to share?
