My company has a huge codebase, for me cursor would freeze up / not find relevant files. Claude code seems able to find the right files by itself.

I seem to always have better outcomes with Claude code.

How does Claude Code handle editing multiple files? My understanding is that it's CLI based, so it edits a bunch of files on it's own, so how do you accept/reject and rollback changes?

I use git and when necessary, git worktrees to keep parallel Claudes from bothering/actively-undoing each other’s edits (esp when an edit requires multiple files of changes, so the tree is temporarily broken).

Cursor and these tools evolve quite fast.

The Cursor you used a month ago is not the one you get now.

Just saying that because in this space you should always compare latest X with latest Y.

I too switched weeks ago to Claude Code. Then between the times I am out of tokens I launch Cursor and actually find it...better than I remember if not on par with Claude Code (the model and quality of prompts/context matters more than the IDE/CLI tool used too).
