Microsoft owns VSCode and makes money from OpenAI. OpenAI invested in Windsurf and Cursor. Cursor, now worth more than Windsurf, started by copying/modifying Microsoftโ€™s VSCode. So Microsoft indirectly helped create Cursor - but doesnโ€™t control it and OpenAI (which Microsoft profits from) is helping grow Cursor. Itโ€™s a web of investments and forks showing how tech companies evolve and benefit from each other's tools and funding.

My opinion: Cursor is a feature that can be launched by vscode any day and this valuation will become a joke. This is one of the most bloated valuation bubble I have ever seen. Unless they get acquired by OpenAI just like windsurf

Iโ€™ve switched to Windsurf from Cursor and itโ€™s so much better. Doesnโ€™t throttle or get buggy even after hours of use.
