I tried VS Code with AI and Claude Code side by side for a month, and VS Code is now my fallback editor

I’ve been a long-term VS Code user, and after years of writing code by hand, getting AI assistance through tools like GitHub Copilot was almost revolutionary. I could get suggestions and help fixing my code while I was writing it. I’ve been using that setup for a few years, but more recently, I started moving some of my development work to Claude Code because it was so effective. For almost a month, I used both alongside each other, turning to VS Code for some tasks and Claude Code for others. I consistently got more done with Claude Code, and I’ve now moved my primary development workflow over to it.
