I recently switched from Cursor to Claude Code and I like it way more. I'm a terminal person who uses Vim, and I didn't want to go back to VSCode for AI coding. Let me tell you what I like about Claude Code. 🧵

Claude Code's planning approach is much better than Cursor. The way it responds in chat gives me confidence that it's breaking down work into tasks properly. Instead of jumping straight to implementation, it reads files first, thinks through the problem, and makes a plan.

Sub-agents solve the biggest friction with AI coding tools. The main friction is running out of context. Sub-agents let you parallelize work and save context since each has its own context. Just tell Claude to use sub-agents in your prompt.

You can still use images in the context of your conversation with Claude Code. I thought I'd lose the ability to use images switching to a terminal tool. But you can copy and paste images into Claude Code just like with Cursor.
