How is Devin different from cursor?
I recently used cursor and it has felt very capable in implementing tasks across files. I get that cursor is an IDE but it's ai functionality feels very agentic.. where do you draw the line?

I had to look up MCST: it means Model-Centric Software Tools, as opposed to autonomous agents.
Devin is closer to a long-running process that you can interact with as it is processing tasks, whereas Cursor is closer to a function call: once you've made the call, the only think you can do is wait for the result.
It stands for Monte Carlo search tree.
Ie. Better outputs from models, not external tooling and prompt engineering.
Cursor Composer (both "normal" and "agent" mode) fit the colloquial definition of agent, for sure.
