A poll about Windsurf, Cursor, and VS Code
Theo Browne ran polls asking "Which IDE do you use primarily?" on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and YouTube and the results are really interesting.
Below are the results from all these platforms, at the time of writing this post. There are still a few hours left for the polls to complete, but I'm sure that shares are not going to change drastically.
| Platform | Total Votes | Windsurf | Cursor | VS Code | Others |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | 43,523 | 4.7% | 30.5% | 30.6% | 34.1% |
| 4,172 | 4% | 28% | 47% | 21% | |
| YouTube | 18,000 | 2% | 18% | 50% | 30% |
The most interesting thing is, VS Code is winning in all 3 polls, Cursor is at the second position and then Windsurf is at the last. Also, interesting is that thousands of people are still not using any of these three IDEs.
Also, from huge VS Code shares, I can interpret that there must be some people using GitHub Copilot, or Cline, or other AI assistants and then there would also be some people who are not using AI at all.
