I just wish Claude code would also offer fast inline auto complete. Sometimes I’ll just want to have a function definition or some boilerplate spelled out without waiting for the slow Claude response. Or actively switching models. ——- Maybe I can set up a shortcut for that?

Is there a significant difference between Claude Code in VSCode and Copilot in VSCode? I’ve been using Copilot with the Claude models (including Sonnet/Opus 4.6) and it seems to work spectacularly. My subscription is only $10 a month, and it has unlimited inline suggestions. I just wonder if I’m missing anything.

I tried copilot for a bit in vscode as well with opus and felt something was off. Somehow as if copilots harness around it just wasn’t as good. But I can’t give solid prove.

I've been running Claude Code in my Cursor IDE for a while now via extension. I like the setup, and I direct Claude on one task at a time, while still having full access to my code (and nice completions via Cursor). I still spend time tweaking, etc. before committing. I have zero interest in these new "swarms of agents" they are trying to force on us from every direction. I can barely keep straight my code working on…

Same here. Tried agent system but no. One feature. One conversation.

I used Cursor with Opus but was expensive. I've moved to Zed with Claude max plan and have enjoyed the fast editor and get way more out of my Max plan. Zed offers enough inline suggestions for free.

Can't you use the official claude code vs plugin? AFAIK it uses the same binary as the cli in the background.

I was a Cursor loyal until I was spending around $2k a week with premium models and my team had a discussion about whether we’d want to use more Cursor over hire another engineer. We unanimously agreed we’d rather hire another team member. I’m more productive than ever but I’m burning out. Anyway, as a result, I switched to Claude Code Max and I am equally as prolific and paying 1/10th the price. I get my cake and to…

long term claude code user here, never used cursor, however based on my limited experience, it seems codex can code better than claude code.

here is example of project i worked using codex, it took 10 iterations just to get github actions right https://github.com/newbeelearn/whisper.cpp . you can see the commits made by codex. Project was quite simple it needs to modify whisper to add support for transcribing voice with start/stop keys and copy the transcription to clipboard when stopped. That's it. It performs poorly as compare to CC which gets it right in one shot.

> Anyway, you’re right Claude Code is less ergonomic; generally slower. The secret in my experience is parallelization - Cursor might be faster or have better ergo for a single task, but Claude Code really shines when you have 6 tasks that are fairly independent. If you treat CC as just another terminal tool and heavily use git worktrees, the overall productivity shoots through the window. I've been using a tool call…

I think intellij idea can git worktree for agents as well.

Same here. And just recently made the switch back to VS Code with CC

Also means you don't have to deal with Cursor's busted VS Code plugins due to licensing or forking drift (e.g. Python intellisence, etc)

What do you mean, my prompts specifically ask for a phd level expert in every field? \s

"Expertise" is a completely different beast from "knowledge". Expecting to gain it from a model only through prompting is similar to expecting to become capable of something only because you bought a book on the topic.

This was sarcasm, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I was loving Cursor for the agents and autocomplete which was amazing. When they started talking about the autocomplete being no longer a focus and looking towards these token blackholes I switched back to VSCode. At $10 a month it's even cheaper.
