I love Cursor, with Claude 3.7 and Gemini. But Claude Code is an absolut biest and blows them out the water. It is expensive, but it acts like a senior developer. It fixes bugs where Cursor (no matter which model) fails to do so, no matter which model. I tried Roo with OpenRouter, selected DeepSeek R1, as that was supposed to have the largest output token. Asked Roo to create a documentation for a project I worked on. It created a page of markdown with a few mermaid diagrams. Next I asked Claude Code to do the same. With the same prompt. It created several markdown files with half a dozen mermaid diagrams describing the tech stack, the architecture, the data model and so much more. Another level.

This is because Cursor tries to save cost on LLM calls, so it sends it only a very narrow piece of code, and narrower and narrower at every update

  Okay glad it's not just me - I've started using cline and was about to cancel cursor. Max mode spends a ton of money may as well use cline. If I could proxy Claude code through openrouter I'd be more open to testing it ...

    If you are greedy (or cautious about how you spend, because literally RooCode can code 0.5 to 1 USD per request), you can enable slow-mode in Cursor, and just ride the wave with Sonnet-3.7 for free. (or create a new free account and enjoy 500 fast requests) In theory, you could use RooCode with the GitHub Copilot API too, but in practice there are limits that makes it unusable.
