Thoughts on Cursor vs Copilot

Jan 15, 2026 min read

Been using Cursor for a week now. The AI completion is impressive, but when dealing with large context (like entire Flutter project), it still doesn’t match Copilot’s consistency.

Cursor wins on:

  • Better context understanding for refactoring
  • Inline editing is smoother

Copilot wins on:

  • More stable with large codebases
  • Better at predicting boilerplate

Still experimenting to find the best workflow.
