Cursor vs Void

Our take

Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick Void if developers who will run the archived OSS build at $0 while they Accept / Reject a first AgentMode diff — not Cursor Plus $8 unless they want a hosted Agent, and not a team that needs an actively maintained IDE. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API.
