Claude Code intimidates me as new coder, am I missing out by using Projects instead?

I am relatively new to coding, and only working on relatively small projects (custom Wordpress plugins, supabase projects etc). Using the console/powershell etc for pretty much anything just intimidates me. So generally I just upload all my code to txt files, and then to a project, and this seems to work well enough. Was thinking of maybe setting up a GitHub instead and using that integration. But am I missing out? Should I bit the bullet and embrace Claude Code?
