I've been using both the Claude Code extension and the terminal for my coding tasks, but I'm curious if anyone's noticed a significant performance difference between the two. For me, the extension mainly helps with showing code diffs, but otherwise, I don't see much of an improvement. Has anyone conducted any benchmark tests to compare the performance of the extension against using the terminal?

I've switched to using the extension all the time now. I love having Claude Code in the side panel since it frees up my terminal space and saves me from constantly switching back and forth.
Different tools for different tasks! The VS Code extension is more suited for project-specific work and doesn't support certain flags like --continue by default. When I want broader access across multiple projects, I stick to the terminal.
The terminal has its perks, especially for dropping in or pasting images easily. The extension doesn't allow for that, which is a bit of a drawback for me.
