VSCode + Claude Code extension is all you need
Looks like they haven’t integrated checkpoints yet but I’m sure it’s coming soon. With the new Claude Code extension it’s hard to reason why anyone would stay with Cursor’s pricing model. VSCode + Cursor feels so much lighter and let’s be real, all we really want is Sonnet. There’s also some really amazing features that Claude Code brings to the table.
Immediately canceled my $200 Cursor sub (which usage runs out in days) for the much better pricing model of $100 Claude Code Max which keeps replenishing your usage based on hours not months
