The arguments seem to come down to tooling. The article suggests that ChatGPT isn't a good way to interact with LLMs but I'm not so sure. If the greatest utility is "rubber ducking" and editing the code yourself is necessary then tools like Cursor go too far in a sense. In my own experience, Windsurf is good for true vibe coding where I just want to explore an idea and throw away the code. It is still annoying though as it takes so long to do things - ruining any kind of flow state you may have. I am conversing with ChatGPT directly much more often.

I haven't tried Claud code yet however. Maybe that approach is more on point.
