We will all have different experiences and workflow but I am not sure why it’s wild. For myself I find tools like Claude code or codex have a place but it’s not me using the tool interactively. They are both too slow in the feedback loop and overly verbose that it’s hard at least for me to establish a good cadence for writing code.

I am also surprised by this. Especially because we can just run Claude Code from anywhere. Cursor, VS Code, Zed, emacs, vim, JetBrains, etc.

Cursor CLI, Codex and Gemini work too, but lag slightly behind in a variety of different ways that matter.

And if you think you’re getting better visual feedback through Cursor it’s likely you’re just not using Claude with your IDE correctly.
