Using claude code feels like pairing with another programmer. Cursor feels like a polished extension of the IDE. They are both good tools and easily worth $20/mo. I think Anthropic has a 7 day free trial going on. Worth trying it out.

Do you use Claude code on the side and have you ide open to visualize the files and project structure and stuff?

I've been using only cursor for now and I really like having it in the ide. Being able to see the diffs and accept/ reject them and navigate my codebase is really nice.

Agreed. For those who don’t know btw, Claude Code has an official VS Code extensiob that does pretty much exactly that.
