Nope -- he's giving us his personal feedback and experience. I agree with him. I dislike Cursor and Windsurf and enjoy Claude Code alot.

Bother to try it for yourself, and make your own decision. I know it make actually be a bit of work...but you'll probably find everyone has their own style from the web API, to some IDE. No need to be so hostile.

I do not read hostility there, just directness. He has a valid inquiry and states he is interested to learn more. Assume good faith.

Agree. Not sure how, “I’m super interested to learn more,” indicates hostility.

I think ranscendental50's reply itself was unnecessarily hostile and don't agree with the way they responded, but I can see why they assumed hostility. "Do tell" is unfortunately to a large extent used passive aggressively on the Internet, and generally actually means "Don't bother telling me, you're obviously ignorant".

This seems to be a case where it's meant genuinely, but it's not surprising that not everyone picked up on that.
