This underrated Claude Code mode makes it an actual IDE rival
If you have ever tried to manage a complex programming project entirely through a terminal window, you already know how quickly your screen fills up with text that you can’t easily track. Commands scroll past, your chat history needs to be cleared manually, and finding a bug across several files can get annoying. Moving Claude Code directly into VS Code instead of dumping the IDE makes a huge difference. You’re likely not going to let it go once you’ve tried it.
