Debate time. AI Twitter is waging war over Claude Code vs Cursor. So bringing the debate to Farcaster. Cursor’s been shipping fast, writing ~1B lines/day with natural language, and pulling in $200M ARR. Major companies like Stripe, OpenAI, and even Amazon are trialing it internally. Claude Code just dropped with a different philosophy: terminal-first, agent-native workflows, and a clear bet that most human input will become obsolete. Over 100k devs jumped in week one. Some say Cursor is unsustainable and will bleed out on inference costs. Others argue Claude Code is building for a dev world that barely exists yet. Meanwhile, Copilot quietly dominates. It’s used at 50,000+ orgs, embedded into real production stacks, and widely adopted by enterprise teams who are just getting started with AI coding. So what’s the actual future here? – Is Cursor’s momentum enough to lock in dominance? – Will Claude Code’s agentic workflow catch on outside AI Twitter? – Or does Copilot win by being just boring enough to scale?

claude code has the highest referral rate of any AI product I’ve seen. Cursor is the “corporate doesnt want to fall behind” choice

Claude code is simply the superior product for engineers. At least right now.

I have yet to try out cc, still find I get into vibe-coded entanglement bug loops using cursor so have been skeptical to try cc, as I see it more hands off ai code solution.

I use Claude code and Cursor. Both are powerful. I think it'll take awhile for me to move away from an IDE.

Used Cursor extensively until May. Moved to Claude Code after they introduced Max plan - mainly due to affordability. Never went back to Cursor. I am a terminal/vim person - that's the main reason. I feel CC produces way better code, the memory feature is great, am able to run multiple CC sessions simultaneously in my terminal, and in general CC is maybe slightly better at debugging (only slightly - if you nudge it in the right direction, it does a good job). + Cursor is not just being trialed. A lot of companies are using it day to day a lot. At the end of the day, I think it's just going to be preference. IDE vs CLI. With cursor rules, background agents etc., the gap is shrinking.

Debate aside, for practical use, Claude Code just works better. I’m not even a full time engineer and prefer CC over cursor just because it’s cleaner, CLI method works great, I mean what else is there.

I think cursor ultimately just because of the different workflows they enable, at least imo. The new background agents are very good and they are soon coming out with mobile apps. My flow has really increased since as am able to check/launch things while out and about, then review when I get home. Now I don’t believe it’s an either/or situation but rather different use cases would require different tools. https://farcaster.xyz/xr0am-/0x0a94b6d8

Claude Code just added a "d"? Gotta love when the AI game gets spicier!
