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

by

AI coding tools seem to come in two main flavors: IDE-based, like and Copilot, and terminal-based setups, like using 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).

Personally I prefer Claude in CLI vs IDE ...just my preference.

Choose the right tool for the right use case!
