I don't even see much reason to use Cursor. I am used to IntelliJ IDEA, so I just downloaded the Claude Code plugin and basically now I use the IDE only for navigating in the code, finding references and reviewing the code. I can't even remember the last time I wrote more than 2 lines of code. Claude Code has catapulted my performance at least 5x if not more. And now that the cost of writing test is so minimal I am also able to achieve much better (and meaningful!) test coverage too. The AI agents is where the most productivity is. I just create a plan with Claude, iterate over, ask questions, then let it implement the plan, review, ask to do some adjustments. No manual writing of code at all. Zero.

Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but the finer aspects of a codebase it still messes up. If I ask it to implement some weird thing off the beaten path it gets lost. But I completely agree at the test part. I actually test much more now since it's so easy!

IntelliJ has its own Claude integration too, but it does not use your Claude subscription: https://blog.jetbrains.com/ai/2025/09/introducing-claude-age...
