I suspect this wisdom has been shared here many times and etc but I seriously had some wrong idea about a CLI ever being able to match an editor this way.
Seriously this is why you use Cursor over Claude Code.
PS
So anyways I actually hate myself when I think about this, a web app that connects to GitHub is a lot more able to do what Cursor does without the editor itself, which isn’t great. I’m wondering whether a barebones tiptap editor integrated into an AI Browser without any VSCode features at all would ever make sense at all. Probably not I already hate myself way too much doing a browser from scratch.
I totally agree. Beyond the planning phase, it makes reviewing code changes so much easier. You can look at exactly what was modified and decide what to keep or change.
Even better, you can actually discuss the code with the AI agent. If you’re curious why it wrote something a certain way or want to ask about a new snippet, you can just ask. This is why using an IDE like Cursor is such a win.
The best part, though, has to be Bug Mode. It helps me so much because Cursor adds logging automatically, giving the agent the context it needs to actually solve the problem.
