I use the Claude Code VSCode plugin for 80% of my work.

I prefer it because I can look at the code (although not as often anymore) and config (very often!) easily.

It also lets me jump to previous conversations easily.

There are a few cases where the CLI makes sense. One big one is if you are running multiple simultaneous sessions on a remote server using Tmux to have them preconfigured when you reconnect is nice.

Bun in general I don't see the benefit either.
