It definitely depends on what language you’re using and the complexity. But Claude 3.5 and now 3.7 are far superior in my experience for coding tasks. It’s like the difference between ChatGPT 3.5 and 4. It’s far and away more useful and less error-prone for my use cases than other sota models. Cursor + Claude 3.7 in Agent mode is my goto.

Just set it up and it was incredibly smooth. As you said, it's a fork. So it even offered to copy over all my settings/extensions. Let's see how it goes.
