IDE / Tool Comparison

Tool	Cost	Best For	AI Models
Cursor	$20/mo	Daily coding with deep context	Claude, GPT-4o
Copilot	$10/mo	Enterprise teams, VS Code	GPT-4o, Claude
Claude Code CLI	API usage	Complex projects, agentic workflows	Claude
Codex CLI	API usage	Terminal-native automation	GPT-4o
OpenCode	Open source	Self-hosted, custom workflows	Various

✏️ Final Capstone: Build a complete multi-agent SaaS platform using all three levels: (1) vibe-code the initial prototype, (2) engineer it professionally with MCP servers, claude.md context, and CI/CD, (3) add expert-level multi-agent swarm orchestration for critical workflows. Deploy with cloud sandboxes and document the entire process.
