I used Claude Code for most of last year, both in the CLI and the web UI. I reluctantly abandoned it this year in favor of narrowing my suite of subscriptions to just ChatGPT and Gemini, mainly on the basis of being able to jump in and out of the monthly subscription regime.
I found that a second option was essential effectively to use Claude or any of the coding agents. They all have a tendency to dig in and announce that the latest round is absolutely, positively the 100% correct answer. They fall in love with the overall context and their previous priming. Usually, all it takes is repeating or reframing the question and asking a competitor "what's wrong with this solution."
It's critical to understand that in using a coding agent, as in doing any analysis, that the questions always trump the answers.
i don’t get why “operates terminal” == “doesn’t need better ui”.
ui is needed for a user to interact with the app (chat, rewind, attach context, etc.) and it doesn’t make claude’s code interaction with a terminal worse.
I am genuinely hyped about the new rollout. Really excited to start trying some of these new features. Have you looked into this yet?
Not yet!

It's because operates *within* the terminal is the benefit.
