Devin review: is it a better AI coding agent than Cursor?

Devin is an AI coding agent valued at $2 billion, primarily operating through a Slack-based workflow rather than an IDE. The author tested Devin by asking it to generate images and integrate a local app feature but found its workflow slow and less intuitive compared to Cursor. Devin provides updates and notes throughout the process but sometimes fails to meet the required tasks efficiently. The author prefers Cursor due to its real-time integration, allowing more control and faster iteration. Overall, Devon didn't meet the author's expectations due to its asynchronous nature and high cost.
