I pay a Max subscription since a long time, I like their model but I hate their tools:

- Claude Desktop looks like a demo app. It's slow to use and so far behind the Codex app that it's embarassing.

- Claude Code is buggy has hell and I think I've never used a CLI tool that consume so much memory and CPU. Let's not talk about the feature parity with other agents.

- Claude Agent SDK is poorly documented, half finished, and is just thin wrapper around a CLI tool…

Oh and none of this is open source, so I can do nothing about it.

My only option to stay with their model is to build my own tool. And now I discover that using my subscription with the Agent SDK is against the term of use?

I'm not going to pay 500 USD of API credits every months, no way. I have to move to a different provider.

I agree that Claude Code is buggy as hell, but:

What do you mean feature parity with other agents? It seems to me that other CLI agents are quite far from Claude Code in this regard.
