I currently use LLMs as a glorified Stack Overflow. If I want to start integrating an LLM like Gemini 2.5 PRO into my IDE (I use Visual Studio Code), whats the best way to do this? I don't want to use a platform like Cursor or Claude Code which takes me away from my IDE.

Cursor is an IDE. You can use its powerful (but occasionally wrong) autocomplete, and start asking it to do small coding tasks using the Ctrl+L side window.

Does running a Claude Code command in VSCode's integrated terminal count as leaving your IDE?

(We may have differing definitions of "leaving" ones IDE).
