I used Cursor and Claude Code for two weeks. I tested them on a Next.js and FastAPI project. Both work well. They fail in different ways.

Cursor feels like a fast VS Code. Tab completions are quick. The diff UI is great.

Choose Cursor for daily tasks:

Latency stays under 200ms. You do not wait on the tool.

Claude Code is different. It lives in the terminal. It scans your whole repo.

It handles big changes. I used it to refactor 14 files. It plans the work first. This makes the process transparent.

Rate limits are a problem. They cut me off twice in one afternoon.

Neither tool wins everything.

Use Cursor for visual or short work. Use Claude Code for changes across many files.

These tools will likely merge. Terminal agents will get editor UX.
