For some reason, CLIs feel better as coding agent UIs. I loved Cursor at first, but now with Claude Code, it feels like Cursor's UI gets in the way.
(I work at Cursor) We also have a CLI, if you prefer coding in the terminal. We've seen this useful for folks using JetBrains or other IDEs: https://cursor.com/cli
I'd love to hear from folks who mainly use Claude Code on why they prefer it and how they compare. It seems to be the most popular option here in HN, or at least the most frequently mentioned, and I never quite got why. I always preferred the deep IDE integration that Cursor offers. I do use AI extensively for coding, but as a tool in the toolbox, it's not always the best in every context, and I see myself often swit…
Now with gpt-5-codex and codex vs code ext .. getting through up to 20k line changes in a day again lots of parallel jobs; but codex allows for less rework.
The job of the "engineer" has changed a lot. At 5k lines I was not reviewing every detail but it was possible to skim over what had changed. At 20k it's more looking at logs performance / arch & observation of features less code is reviewed.
Maybe soon just looking at outcomes. Things are moving quickly.
I got into Cursor a little late, went really heavy on it, and see myself using it less and less as I go back to VSCode. 1) The most useful thing about Cursor was always state management of agent edits: Being able roll back to previous states after some edits with the click of a button, or reapply changes, and preview edits, etc. But weirdly, it seems like they never recognized this differentiator, and indeed it remai…
I use Cursor because I found their autocomplete to be the best option at the time. That seemed to be the consensus at one point too from bits of research I did. Do people think there are better autocomplete options available now? Is it a case of just using a particular model for autocomplete in whatever IDE you want to use?

(I work at Cursor) 1. Checkpoints/rollbacks are still a focus for us, albeit it's less used for those working with git. Could you share the bug you saw? 2. Autocomplete for prompts was something we were skeptical of as well, but found it really useful internally to save time completing filenames of open code files, or tabbing to automatically include a recently opened file into the context. Goal here is to save you k…
I find the amount of credits included in the pro subscription per month totally insufficient. Maybe it lasts 1-2 weeks.
Today I got a message telling me I exhausted my subscription when the web dashboard was showing 450/500. Is there a team level constraint on top of individual ones?
I could be wrong about this, but it feels like Cursor is less and less compelling with better models and better CLI tools popping up. Are the plan limits generous enough that it's worth a spin? Again, I haven't used Cursor in a while, I'm mostly posting this hoping for Cunningham's Law to take effect :)
I find Cursor at the same level as Claude code, with some strengths and some weaknesses. Cursor is nice when I want to start multiple parallel agents, while browsing files, monitoring the progress, and switching models as needed. It’s just a simple, zero config environment i can just start using intuitively. Claude code is more reliable and generally better at using MCP for tool cal, like docs from contex7. So if I h…

You write like that's a bad thing. What's with the negativity here..
You’re absolutely correct! This comment was more negative than it could be. Would you like me to rewrite it to demonstrate more positivity?

It doesn't show cumulative does it? For me it just shows my plan name and itemized token usage but no "You used x out of y of your included credits"
It shows me $XX/$YYY at the very top, on the right side. /shrug
I wish cursor would let you see how much usage in terms of $$ you have done for your month. Its really hard to see in the dashboard the individual charges tokens, but then there is no cumulative. I haven't been able to find a way to see how much of my included usage is being used besides downloading the csv and manually summing. They just give you a very unhelpful "You will use your included credits by X date" I supp…
(I work at Cursor) We added usage visibility in the IDE with v1.4: https://cursor.com/changelog/1-4#usage-and-pricing-visibilit... . By default, it only shows when you are close to your limits. You can toggle it to always display in your settings, if you prefer.
