I've used Claude Code but not the vs code plugin. I get enough value from the auto-complete that I'll use Cursor regardless, but I don't think it's worth $20 for that.
But now it's subsidized so I easily spend over $50 of Claude credits for my $20 in Cursor.
Also the ability to swap out models is a big value add and I don't have to worry about latest and greatest. I switch seamlessly. Something comes out, next day its on Claude. So now I'm using GPT which is less than half the price. I don't want to have to think about it or constantly consider other options. I want a standardized interface and plug in whatever intelligence I want. Kind of like a dropbox that can worry about whether they store in AWS, Azure or GCP depending which one is the best value prop.
