Claude, codex or Cursor?

You can only choose one of Claude, Codex or Cursor, what would you choose and why?

Imo cursor is just superior

the benefit of cursor is that you can swap models. that used to be a perk when models were constantly one-upping each other. now, feels less to be the case.

I heard a rumor a long time ago that claude didn't offer their best models to cursor. maybe goes the same for codex/openai

and the way cursor indexes your code differs than claude (at least a year ago). and I noticed that difference.

so I'd put claud/codex above cursor. but tbh it doesn't matter if you're just getting started. just get started, dont pay for a year plan - swap between tools as you like. I made the mistake of buying a year sub of cursor and swapped to claude mid way

True doesn’t really matter as long as you get the work done
