Claude Code vs. Cursor vs. Codex vs. Antigravity — six months in
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.
