Early IDEs similar to Cursor focused on code completion, whereas with Claude Code you can assign tasks directly and have it analyze, modify, and test, even handing it the entire project.

Claude Code mainly reads CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills, while more and more tools read the common AGENTS.md, so when mixing multiple tools, the two sets of rules may not match.

If your Claude account is banned and you want to keep using Opus 5.5, you can switch to tools like Cursor, without necessarily sticking with Claude Code.

The two can work together: install Cursor's official plugin in Claude Code, so that when Claude directs bots to write code, it calls Cursor directly.

Some believe Claude Code's 20X tier is the best value among subscription plans. In 15 days he used up $2,500 worth of Fable 5 usage and feels Cursor can be put aside.

Cursor relies on external model suppliers: OpenAI announced that starting Nov 12 it will stop providing GPT-series models to Cursor, due to SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor.
