What is an IDE? Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and the new AI coding layer
A beginner-friendly guide to IDEs, Visual Studio Code forks, Cursor vs Windsurf, coding agents, and why some founders think the editor is becoming a higher-level system design surface.
Read guideAn IDE is the place where code is written, searched, debugged, run, and increasingly delegated to AI agents.
Cursor and Windsurf matter because they are AI-first editors built around the familiar Visual Studio Code style of working, but they compete on agent workflow, context, models, and developer control.
The next shift may be away from editing individual files and towards planning systems, reviewing architecture, and supervising agents that write most of the code.
