As a Claude Code user for about 6 months, I don't identify with either of these categories. Personally I switched to Claude Code because I don't particularly enjoy VScode (or forks thereof). I got used to a two window workflow - Claude Code for AI-driven development, and Goland for making manual edits to the codebase. As of a few months ago, Claude Code can show diffs in Goland, making my workflow even smoother.

Do you find yourself making manual changes 50%, 40%, 30%… of the time?

Always curious to hear how individuals have their workflows, if you don’t mind sharing.

My only gripe with the Goland integration is if you have multiple terminals open with CC, it will randomly switch to the first terminal for no apparent reason. Then, if you aren't paying close attention, you prompt the wrong instance.
