Not sure, after reading so many times that Cursor was cooked, I got a license from my company and I'm loving it. I had tried Claude Code before, though only briefly and for small things; I don't really see much difference between one and the other. Cursor (Opus 4.5) has been able to perform complex changes across multiple files, implement whole new features, fix issues in code and project setup... I mean, it just feels like peer programming, and I never got the feeling of running into hard limits. Am I missing much, or Cursor has simply improved recently (or it depends on the license)?

People are realizing that you don't need Cursor to review the diffs CC generates; any tool will do!
you don't need CC to do exact same thing in a much more complete environment(cursor), with nice GUI, plugins ecosystem of entire VS code vs just a cli tool built against core UNIX priciples : CLI is good at doing one thing, GUI is for something more complex. CC is mixing two paradims...

I really can't not stand sub par copy paste expereince , bad text positioning etc. Why settle?
