I’m not a vim and eMacs guys - or terminal guy.

Claude Code + Cursor is my setup. Claude Code is my workhorse that I use for most tasks.

For small tiny quick changes, I use Cursor in auto.

For architecture consulting I use Cursor chat with Grok 4.

Claude Code is much better at banging out features than Cursor’s Claude. And Claude itself is better than other models as a coding workhorse.

All that said: while we may all code, we are building wildly different things that have much different specific problems to solve so it doesn’t surprise me that there isn’t a universal setup that works best for everybody.





What did you use before Grok 4 came out for architecture consulting, Gemini 2.5 Pro?

Yes 2.5 pro and o3. I’ve been very impressed with Grok 4 so far for this purpose. It’s very thorough and accurate. Granted my time with grok 4 is limited to a few days but I’ve already given it challenging problems and the results were exceptional.
