The editors and IDEs where agents meet your code, from AI-native platforms and agentic IDEs to the neutral defaults, with the acquisitions and sunsets recorded where they happened.

- [Antigravity](antigravity/index.md) - Google's free multi-agent platform (2.0, IDE, CLI, SDK), generous tier, incident-heavy first year.
- [Continue](continue/index.md) - the open-source Copilot alternative across VS Code, JetBrains, and CLI, acquired by Cursor in June 2026, now read-only.
- [Cursor](cursor/index.md) - Anysphere's AI-native editor platform, acquired by SpaceX in August 2026, with OpenAI winding down its model access from November 12.
- [JetBrains IDEs](jetbrains/index.md) - the analysis-heavy IDEs whose AI layer, AI Assistant plus Junie, is removable and provider-agnostic.
- [Kiro](kiro/index.md) - AWS's spec-driven agentic IDE, credits-metered, from a 50-credit free tier to $200/month.
- [OpenChamber](openchamber/index.md) - the MIT open-source session cockpit around OpenCode, worktrees and multi-model fusion included.
- [Roo Code](roo-code/index.md) - the Cline-fork VS Code extension that sunset itself in May 2026 to chase cloud agents.
- [Trae](trae/index.md) - ByteDance's AI IDE, repriced in September 2026 to a $20/$60/$200 ladder, SOLO mode and cloud tasks included, telemetry questions attached.
- [Void](void/index.md) - the Apache-2.0 open-source Cursor alternative, demand proven, releases stalled since April 2025.
- [VS Code + Copilot](vscode-copilot/index.md) - the neutral default, hosting Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex as swappable harnesses.
- [Windsurf](windsurf/index.md) - the agentic IDE rescued by Cognition in 2025, fully absorbed into Devin Desktop, down to a redirect and Devin-hosted docs.
- [Zed](zed/index.md) - the Rust performance editor where AI is optional and BYOK is unlimited.

Its members are compared on shared rows in the [Surface Feature Matrix](surface-feature-matrix/index.md).
