claude code is a nightmare compared to cursor. terminal is not an appropriate UX unless you want to do stuff from your phone in a pinch. the main thing they got right is selling the idea of vibing to skeptical engineers by making it a CLI. i think it has more sensible defaults than cursor though which is another reason folks like it out of the box. cursor with a planner/executor system prompt works much nicer and is way less destructive. cc more for vibing IMO
