How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Cursor names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in AI. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Cursor also lists JetBrains AI Assistant, Codeium, Claude for VS Code as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
