Liking Claude Code better than Cursor

As much as I love the Cursor editor for AI-assisted programming, recently I have really been getting into Claude Code which is similar but a command-line tool. It costs a small fortune ($5-$10/day), but it seems worth it to me.

I can't put my finger on why exactly I find it more useful than Cursor. I guess I like how Claude Code lets me do `create a branch, commit, push, make a pr, then open the pr in a browser` and it takes care of everything, including coming up with good commit and pr descriptions.

I also like how doing `commit and push` in Claude Code will commit and automatically fix up any lint or test errors that come up, repeating as needed. Especially handy for Rust code which is super-strict about compiler errors. I find myself pressing Enter a lot to accept its proposed changes.

Other things I like about Claude Code:

  • It can resolve merge conflicts for me.
