What’s the real difference between Cursor and Windsurf at this point?

They both seem to use the same models and feel totally interchangeable VS clones.

Is there a reason to use one over the other? Anyone have thoughts or firsthand experience?

I think this is the default mode now? I find myself using Claude code more often since it needs less handholding for viewing the whole code base, but cursor agentic felt like I was still a bit more behind the steering wheel

Now using them in tandem

Do you guys actually use the Agentic section features within the editors? 

I’ve tried them a few times but never found them useful. Has anything changed recently? My workflow tools are SuperTab (IDE), Chat (o3 or Opus), Cloude Code (which still feels like the killer feature)

Yes they did but it seems to have been resolved now
