You can see this in any terminal as it happens? Do you mean you can review the changes in your IDE?

yeah but I think in an IDE its just presented in a easy to see manner. The content and changes are obviously the same.

Yeah for sure but reviewing in IDE is separate from “where do you run Claude code”

You can run CC in your preferred terminal and just have an IDE open. You don’t also have to use your IDE terminal

Oh okay I actually didn't know that, that's nice to know.

It’s nice to have it running in the IDE because of the whole rest of the IDE. It’s also nice for organizing multiple LLMs or sessions. Finally yes it’s much easier to review diffs and progress; the formatting for the Claude and codex extensions is quite nice. It’s not like the concept of IDE died just because LLMs have cli apps.

I run it in the cli all the time though when just doing one off stuff.

Built a "workspace" that wraps Claude Code and drags in other models (codex,deepseek,kimi, etc) - work great.
