I just use both because it allows me to have separate cursorrules and windsurfrules files, one for backend and the other for frontend.
They have different failures modes but are largely similar. Cursor seems to be better at indexing and including docs but that’s a qualitative impression rather than a rigorous evaluation.
Both are rather useless in my mixed C++/Rust codebase but work pretty well for traditional web stuff. I’d say at this point that Cursor has an edge but there’s so much development going on that this comment will be outdated within a few weeks.
