Our take
Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick Fork if developers who will finish evaluation then buy US$59.99 for that OS — not Tower Basic US$69/yr first unless they want seats + Mac/Windows in one subscription, and not if they need Tower Pro self-hosted remotes / team admin. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API.
