Cursor
VS Code fork with deep AI editing, multi-file context, and a powerful agent mode. The most popular AI editor by mindshare.
Kiro
AWS's VS Code-based agentic IDE built around spec-driven development. Powered by Claude Sonnet with strong refactor and plan-first workflows. Hit waitlist on launch in July 2025 and is now a top-tier comparison point alongside Cursor and Claude Code.
