What's the benefit to using claude code CLI directly over something like Cursor?


the benefit is you can use your preferred editor. no need to learn a completely new piece of software that doesnt match your workflow just to get access to agentic workflows. for example, my entire workflow for the last 15+ years has been tmux+vim, and i have no desire to change that.


Claude Code is a much more flexible tool: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview#why-...


You don't have to deal with awfulness of vs code.
