Original Reddit post

genuinely trying to settle this for myself. i run claude code in an IDE and keep seeing people swear by the raw terminal, not just put up with it but actually prefer it. if youre on the terminal, what does it give you that the IDE doesnt? speed, tmux/ssh, less visual noise, not wanting an editor sitting between you and the diffs, something else? and if youre in an IDE like me, has the terminal crowd ever made you reconsider? not trying to start a holy war, just want the real reasons. curious where the room actually lands. submitted by /u/Lonely_Ostrich9801
