Claude Code for me. The optimization cycle is ridiculously fast – they ship improvements based on user feedback way quicker than I expected. And honestly, Opus 4.5 is smart enough out of the box that I haven't had to mess with configs or prompts much at all.

Are they still arbitrarily changing the keyboard shortcuts around without any option to customise?

Made me so mad.

This is one of the things that made me ditch Cursor: when they're constantly shifting around keybindings, overriding long-held conventions, and changing UI, etc etc; especially without opt-out (or opt-in for that matter).

Tie that in with a release cycle that force restarts the IDE, its a recipe for flow-breaking frustration that makes a tool untrustable. When its untrustable, it gets removed.

Now I don't let my tools auto-update. It was an experiment to allow the auto-updates to begin with, because new tech paradigms, yet its clear the end user still isn't accounted for properly.

IMO because the product roadmap (such as it might ever be) is usually only influenced by poorly targeted analytics (more is not better), and a small minority of vocal users; leaving the rest of us in the lurch.

Ah, you're right..
