When should I use different AI models with Cursor?

Use frontier models like Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5 for the most complex tasks.

Can you rely on Cursor's autocomplete to reduce typing without causing frequent corrections?

Yes. Autocomplete reduces manual typing and generates accurate code from comments. It works consistently across languages and helps recall syntax, though occasional corrections may still be needed.

Cursor or Claude Code?

I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!

As a frontend developer, integrating Cusor into my workflow over the past few months has been transformative. Its intuitive interface seamlessly integrates with popular IDEs like VS Code, allowing me to access powerful features without disrupting my usual setup. The real-time AI-driven code suggestions have significantly accelerated my coding process by providing relevant snippets and adhering to best practices, while its proactive error detection and detailed debugging assistance have reduced the time I spend troubleshooting. Additionally, Cusor’s design assistance for responsive layouts and CSS optimizations ensures that my applications are both functional and visually appealing. The tool’s reliability, even with large codebases, and minimal downtime make it an indispensable part of my daily routine. While Cusor excels in enhancing productivity and maintaining consistent coding standards, offering more customization options for code suggestions and expanding integrations with additional development environments would further elevate its utility. Overall, Cusor is a powerful and user-friendly AI tool that has greatly improved my frontend development efficiency and code quality, and I eagerly anticipate its future enhancements.
