I don't get it. The title says "What makes Claude Code so damn good", which implies that they will show how Claude Code is better than other tools, or just better in general. But they go about repeating the Claude Code documentation using different wording.

Am I missing something here? Or is this just Anthropic shilling?

The difference between Claude Code and Cursor is that one is a command line tool and the other an IDE. You can use Claude models in both and all these techniques can be applied with Cursor and its rules, too.

It's Coke vs. Pepsi.

Not even close. An agentic tool can be fully autonomous, an IDE like Cursor is, well it's "just" an editor. Quite the opposite. Sure it does some heavy lifting too, but still the user writes the code. They start to implement fully agentic tools and models, but they are nowhere near work as good as Claude Code does.
