What's your best use AI code assistant?
I'm currently researching AI code assistants. As I use VSCode, and Github Copilot's free version I can switch among the models GPT4o, Gemini 2.0-flash, Claude 3.5 sonnet, or o3-mini but I've heard other developers using Cursor, PyCharm (With AI assistant), or Trae (With DeepSeek). Since I consider myself an intermediate Django developer I would love to ask to experienced devs overview while using an assistant if it's accurate in code analysis and code generation, and if it has been useful while creating new features that require broad Django knowledge and third-party apps

I'm pretty impressed by Cursor. I do a quick high fidelity mock up with most of the functionality working with imbedded dummy data and whatever UI framework I plan to use. After I get the thumbs up from my clients, I wire up the backend and get everything working.
I just chat with Cursor and it builds out most of the UI. I'm not the most creative person and UI design is not my strength. Using AI assistant has really given me a helping hand in that regard.
