Summary

This article compares Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Antigravity after six months of rapid convergence in the agentic coding category. It shows that the products now share a similar workflow around terminals, planning steps, approval gates, MCP integration, and delegated agent work. It also explains how pricing, distribution, workflow lock-in, and repository conventions like AGENTS.md now matter more than model leaderboard rankings. The piece closes by adding Grok Build as a new entrant and highlighting how its terminal-native, multi-subagent design and local-first positioning could pressure incumbents.
