I've used Cursor, Windsurf, Jetbrains AI (in Pycharm and Webstorm), GH co-pilot (paid) in VScode and Pycharm.
My workflow jumps from using Claude Desktop and Claude in Cursor. But with each passing day, I'm getting serious thoughts on learning NeoVim and just using Claude to generate smaller functions and use them as I want them to.
Note: All of my workflows are custom and complex, I've have had higher success with using Claude Sonnet via Desktop/Chat instead of cursor which keeps breaking things.
Sounds like you’ve really run the gauntlet with AI tooling, love how you’ve tested across environments and zeroed in on what actually works for your workflow.
Totally get the Claude > Cursor preference too. When you’re working with custom, complex setups, stability and control matter more than shiny integrations. I’ve had similar moments where Cursor’s context injection tries to be helpful and ends up breaking things that were already working fine.
NeoVim + Claude sounds like a clean, focused stack, especially if you’re comfortable managing your own flow. Curious though, what’s pushing you toward NeoVim now? Speed? Customisation? Just needing more precision?
