An overview of the top AI-powered coding tools available in 2025, including Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VSCode, and others, highlighting their features and popularity among developers.
| **Tool** | **Developer** | **Key Features** | **Notes** |
|-------------------|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Cursor** | Anysphere | AI-powered autocomplete, code rewriting, agent mode, integrates with Web resources | Most popular AI-focused IDE, fork of VSCode |
| **Claude Code** | Anthropic | Works in MacOS/Linux terminal, command-line interface, high control over workflow | Preferred by developers who like command-line tools |
| **Windsurf** | Codeium (acquired by OpenAI)| AI autocorrect, agentic AI, Cascade interface, works in other IDEs (e.g., Jetbrains) | Rebranded from Codeium, acquired by OpenAI for $3 billion |
| **VSCode** | Microsoft | Extensions support, GitHub Copilot (agent mode in preview), slow AI integration | Popular IDE, but slower to adopt AI features compared to startups |
| **Vibe Coding Tools** | Various (e.g., Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Firebase) | Chat interface, no software installation, browser-based, minimal coding required | Designed for "vibe coding," where users describe what they want to build |
| **Other Tools** | OpenAI, Mistral, Apple, etc. | Codex (OpenAI), Mistral Code, Apple’s AI tools, Zed, Devin (AI software engineer) | Rapidly evolving, many new tools emerging frequently |
