Unfortunately I “think different” and use Windows. I use Microsoft Copilot and would say it is qualitatively similar to codeium in quality, a real quantitative eval would be a lot of work.


Cursor (cursor.com) is just a vscode wrapper, should work fine with Windows. If you're already in the AI coding space I seriously urge you to at least give it a go.


I'll look into it.

I'll add that my experience with the Codium plugin for IntelliJ is night and day different from the Windsurf editor from Codium.

The first one "just doesn't work" and struggles to see files that are in my project, the second basically works.


You can also look into https://www.greptile.com/ to ask codebase questions. There's so many AI coding tools out there now. I've heard good things about https://codebuddy.ca/ as well (for IntelliJ) and https://www.continue.dev/ (also for IntelliJ).

Haha. You're on a roll.
