Claude Code vs Cursor vs GitHub Copilot in 2026 - Which Are You Actually Using

[FairDos96]

The AI coding assistant market has matured enough that most developers have settled on something or are actively choosing between options. Claude Code has been getting attention partly for the Fable 5 coding benchmark results but also because the Miasma worm specifically targeted it via the SessionStart hook. Cursor has a large user base. Copilot is baked into the Microsoft ecosystem.

Practically: which one do you actually have open most days, what are you using it for, and what has made you stick with it or think about switching?
