Our take
Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick Tabnine if orgs who will talk to Tricentis about an Enterprise seat. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API. Skip Tabnine if individuals hunting a $12 Pro (GitHub Copilot, Cursor).
