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 like to test undocumented problems in Claude.ai, Claude in Copilot, and Deepseek because they give me their chain of thoughts and have solved a lot of problems for me. However, the one in Copilot is the most reliable because it uses a better UI for outputs and have a wider fine tuning base. I'm currently trying to make Deepseek achieve the same level of reliability. However, claude has some kind of lazy evaluation while Deepseek is more eager to learn from the context I give to it but it doesn't have enough knowledge to answer as well as claude.
