Trae vs. Cursor: Is my love for vibecoding making me miss out? 🤔

Hey PH fam ,

I'm a student from China, just getting deep into the world of 'vibecoding' and building my first few projects. I could really use some community wisdom here.

For the past few months, I've been using Trae as my main editor. I absolutely love its minimalist design and the overall 'vibe' it's clean, focused, and just feels right. It helps me get into the flow state.

But I can't ignore the elephant in the room: Cursor .

AI in your IDE (e.g. Cursor) vs AI in your terminal (Claude Code) — what’s the better flow?

AI coding tools seem to come in two main flavors: IDE-based, like @Cursor and @GitHub Copilot, and terminal-based setups, like using @Claude Code to generate commands, scripts, or entire files. Both have their fans, but which one actually helps you move faster?

Curious what flow people are sticking with long term, and where you see the most gains (or frustrations).
