The most popular AI coding tools, according to devs

#ai

We just released our 2025 State of Engineering Management report for the sixth year in a row. This year’s findings, based on responses from more than 600 engineering professionals, are more eye-opening than ever.

According to the report, 90% of engineering teams are now using AI in their workflows, up from 61% just one year ago.

Almost a third of respondents have formally supported and widely adopted AI tools, while another 39% are actively experimenting with them. Only 3% of respondents reported no AI usage and no plans to change that.

48% of respondents reported using two or more AI coding tools, suggesting teams are taking a diversified, exploratory approach by evaluating multiple solutions simultaneously rather than standardizing on a single platform.

The leader among AI coding tools was Copilot with 42% of surveyed engineers naming it their tool of choice, followed by Gemini, Amazon Q and Cursor.
