Do I still need Cursor if I already have Claude Pro / Claude Code?

Question

Some time ago, I started a Cursor subscription and used it to build my hobby app. I’m now getting pretty close to my MVP.

Two weeks ago, I also got Claude Pro. I’ve heard a lot of positive things about Claude Code, although I haven’t really used it yet.

Now I’m wondering: do I even still need Cursor if I have Claude Code?
And if not, is it easy to move an existing project over?

Part of the reason I’m asking is that I’d like to use Claude’s frontend design plugin. But for that, would I need to fully move my project into Claude, or am I misunderstanding how that works?

I’d mainly like to hear how others handle this in practice:
Do you use both in parallel, or has Claude Code completely replaced Cursor for you?
