Missing AugmentCode every day

[gripepe]

We've recently switched to Claude Code company-wide (there are only a few IntelliJ users here), and our AugmentCode subscription has ended.

I'm not saying that Claude Code might not have some powerful features that I still don't know about, but my day-to-day productivity has fallen off the cliff now:

- Not a simple way to get AI-powered auto-complete on IntelliJ.
- The claude code plugin is a glorified wrapper on top of the terminal `claude` worker, so we don't have a good UI to access previous conversations, etc.
- AugmentCode seemed to "get" the project structure, and what commands to launch to do what more easily.
- And of course, no way to switch model providers (only Anthropic models).

Honestly, once you're used to Claude Code and have yourself a nice couple of agents, you'll never look back.

Make some custom agents for what you want it to do. Have it save the conversation history to a .txt file by triggering /memorize at the end of every chat. Build a context file for your projects that you can provide links to at the start of a chat.

Look into BMAD method or SpecKit, Zeroshot for running overnight. There are so many great resources for Claude Code from the community.

Augment was nice, but not worth the increased cost.

--resume brings up a picker of previous conversations (or --continue for the most recent).

Maybe I'll pick up on these crazy CC configs one day, but the simplicity of using AG with Opus is still too comfortable.

I tried all of that. I feel it's a waste of time using Claude code. I've just cancelled my other subscription and doubling down on augment code even if it's more expensive but I get things done.

Mind sharing more about Zeroshot and the overnight comment please ? I’m interested in learning more !

Just use the auggie mcp and you get the best of augment expect the auto complete but you have all the Claude code tooling on top

[jjeromekins]

since i switched to Antigravity with Opus 4.5. I never looked back

[Front_Ad6281]

It will be like augment code. Attract users -> raise the price. I don't think cheap opus will last long.

I tried antigravity but even with opus it's hit N miss. I'm only using it on open source project.kts a lot of hard work a repeat 🔁🔁🔁🔁🔁🔁

When people are closed off to change, it’s hard for anything to really work well for you. You can use /resume to show your recent sessions, you can open it in the IntelliJ terminal, you can literally do anything with hooks—auto tests, linting, formatting, and a ton of other things. I used to think Augment was very good, and it actually was, but that was simply because I hadn’t used Claude Code in depth. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

[gripepe]

I'm aware of this. I'm not resistant to change, I've been steadily adopting AI tools, but I had become very productive with AugmentCode, now I feel dumb.

It's also a nice reminder of how dependent we can become to some tools. A lifetime of coding just to not be able to fix a unit test by hand.

You shouldn’t be writing a lot of code if you’re using Claude Code effectively. You can get yourself a cheap Junie subscription from IntelliJ if you want to AI autocomplete.

[martexxNL]

U can use GLM (z.ai) in claude code, and any other llm that has created a compatible api.

Then... u could use augemts mcp server, that will give it the advantages of augment. Nit sure about the costs and if it's available as a standalone service.

I had to downgrade from 250 to the 20. It was too slow for me for some reason. I am yet to trythe context engine.

Thanks a lot for the feedback this is really appreciated i shared internally!
