I use claude code in vscode. Cmd-Esc opens a claude code tab. Then /ide conects to the vscode and it's all like cursor at that point.

Same here - in fact, I just recently cancelled my Cursor subscription because Claude Code + VSCode seems just as good. I think Cursor is a decent product and some of the UX it puts around LLM interaction is helpful - but I just can't really justifying paying Cursor to middleman my requests to LLM providers when Claude Pro is $20 / month.
