Switched from Cursor to Claude Code — here's my honest comparison after 2 months
By CosmicByte7712 · REVIEW · 4/5 stars · About Claude Code
Used Cursor for 6 months, switched to Claude Code 2 months ago. Here's my take: Claude Code is significantly better at understanding large codebases and making multi-file changes. The terminal-based workflow is actually faster once you get used to it. BUT — Cursor wins on reliability (no usage limits), inline suggestions, and the fact that it just works in your editor. If Anthropic fixes the limits, Claude Code wins. Until then, it's a toss-up depending on your workflow.

StormPulse179: Solid review. One thing you didn't mention — the customer support is terrible.
