A practical side-by-side look at Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf for 2026, covering price, context windows, refactoring, agent autonomy, and privacy. Good if you want the tradeoffs laid out clearly before picking an AI code editor.

Nice roundup, especially the privacy and autonomy tradeoffs.

Pick the one that fits your risk tolerance and workflow, not the flashiest demo. In 2026 the real split is local-first privacy versus cloud autonomy, and most teams should optimize for the failure mode they can live with.
