Proof, not promises. Watch the six demos from the DriesNote Rotterdam

AI Code Tools Dutch Developers Use in 2026
Auke de Haan publishes field notes from Dutch developer teams on which AI coding tools see real adoption in 2026. He reports most professional developers run two tools side-by-side: a fast in-editor assistant for day-to-day work and a heavier model for refactors and architecture. Top tools mentioned include GitHub Copilot (default for VS Code/JetBrains), Cursor (fast-growing AI-native editor), Claude Code (preferred for complex reasoning and large codebases), CodeRabbit (automated PR reviews), and Kiro (AWS, spec-driven development). The post highlights EU privacy concerns—teams prefer business tiers with data-processing agreements and EU hosting, and notes Mistral’s traction because it is European. The author links to a longer Dutch comparison and advises trialing two tools on real work before choosing.
