"Developers have been comparing the strengths and weaknesses of Anthropic's Claude Code, Anysphere's Cursor, and Microsoft's GitHub Copilot for months now, looking for a winner. While no individual AI coding tool manages to be the best at every task that software developers do each day, Claude Code is increasingly coming out on top for its ease of use, both for developers and nontechnical users."
"Microsoft's CoreAI team, the new AI engineering group led by former Meta engineering chief Jay Parikh, has been testing Claude Code in recent months, and last week Microsoft's Experiences + Devices division were being asked to install Claude Code. This division is responsible for Windows, Microsoft 365, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Bing, Edge, Surface, and more. Even employees without any coding experience are being encouraged to experiment with Claude Code, to allow designers and project managers to prototype ideas."
Developers have compared Anthropic's Claude Code, Anysphere's Cursor, and Microsoft's GitHub Copilot, with Claude Code gaining favor for ease of use among developers and nontechnical users. Microsoft began adopting Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 model inside its developer division in June last year and later favored it for paid GitHub Copilot users. Microsoft is now expanding Claude Code use across major engineering teams. CoreAI has tested Claude Code, and the Experiences + Devices division was asked to install it. Nondevelopers are encouraged to experiment for prototyping. Claude Code use is approved across Business and Industry Copilot code and repositories, and engineers are expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and provide comparative feedback.
