> Claude IDE

Claude Desktop's UI seems pretty similar to Cursor now, almost. I'm still on Cursor but if I use it daily I often hit usage limits before the end of the month. Would you say using Claude directly is better bang for buck?

I switched from Cursor to Claude Code (via T3.codes) because I was running out of usage on Grok 4.7. I regret not making the switch sooner, Opus 5.5 is much better than Grok, and Grok is decent!

Yeah, I agree, but Opus 5.5 burns through a ton of usage in Cursor so I rarely use it. Just wondering if cost wise it's better to use Claude Code than Cursor w/ Grok - sounds like you think it is?

My $200 Anthropic subscription is giving me way more value than my $200 Cursor subscription was.
