Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to find a clear answer on this but haven’t seen a solid head-to-head comparison yet.

I’m not talking about the default out-of-the-box models (Copilot vs Cursor’s built-in). Instead, if you configure VS Code and Cursor to use the same model, which editor gives you better code quality in practice?

Specifically interested in:

• Multi-file refactoring accuracy
• Inline completion relevance
• How well each editor leverages the rest of your codebase as context
• Agentic editing / autonomous task quality

Has anyone done serious testing on this? Is the gap between them still huge, or has VS Code + Copilot caught up enough that it’s negligible?

Would love to hear real-world experiences, especially from anyone who’s switched between the two.
