Cursor vs Claude Code — which to use?

By DigitalHawk9933 · DISCUSSION · About Cursor

I have both and use them for different things. Cursor is better for incremental coding (tab completion, quick edits). Claude Code is better for big architectural changes and understanding complex codebases. The ideal setup is both.

NeonGamer522: Interesting perspective. I see it quite differently though.

OceanMaker198: Counter-argument: what if the current trend is actually sustainable?

DigitalHawk9933: I had the exact same issue. Here's what fixed it for me: restart the app and clear cache.

ShadowDrift987: I think the real issue is the lack of competition in this space.

SwiftCoder4821: Can confirm this is still happening as of today.

NeonPhoenix3047: Totally agree with this. Same experience here.
