Comparing Copilot Edits and Cursor
| Feature / Area | GitHub Copilot Edits (Observations) | Cursor (Observations) |
|---|---|---|
| File Context Selection | Limited to selecting only 10 files at a time. | User experience for including files as context is much better. |
| Applying Changes (VS Code) | Requires manually saving each file after changes. | (Implied smoother workflow / less manual saving compared to GC Edits in VS Code). |
| Agent Mode Power | Less emphasis or specific powerful "Agent mode" noted. | Agent mode looks more powerful. |
| Agent Capabilities | Basic editing/generation. | Agent can list/read files, run commands, check linters, etc. - feels SOTA. |
| Agent Limitation | Not specifically mentioned. | Agent struggles with commands needing sudo access. |
| Suggestions/Completion | Standard Copilot suggestions. | Tab suggestion and completion functionality is "mind blowing". |
| Edit/Composer Behavior | Tends to give code changes even when just asking a question. | Tends to give code changes even when just asking a question. |
General Tips for Using AI in Coding:
- Using statically typed languages works better with AI; linters catch issues earlier.
- For dynamically typed languages, add comments specifying input/output types.
- Always plan your code changes before using the AI; this improves prompt quality.
- AI models often struggle with adding the correct library version in dependencies.
- Keep file sizes small for better AI context understanding.
