Claude Code is not a VSCode fork, it's a terminal CLI. It's a rather different interaction paradigm compared to your classical IDE (that said, you can absolutely run Claude Code inside a terminal inside VSCode).

Ah, I think I’m getting it confused with Cursor. So Claude Code is a terminal CLI for orchestrating a coding agent via prompts? That’s different than the initial releases of VSC copilot, but now VSC has “agent” mode that sounds a lot like this. It basically reduces the IDE to a diff viewer.
