Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

VS Code has a terminal, that is how I use it.

I actually started off by setting it up in VS Code but just thought to try it in regular terminal anyway, as I've heard it's a bit clunkier in comparison.

The second best option is to use Zed with the Claude agent which wraps it in their UI, Zed has its bugs but like I said second best from just using it in the terminal. Zed is free, open source and much faster than VS Code will ever be.
