That depends on how you define "improve". They've added a ton of features to it over time. Who said minimizing RAM usage was something they are prioritizing right now?

Do you work for Anthropic or something?
You seem weirdly invested in defending bad decisions.
Even if you're and AI booster, shouldn't you want a better UI?
They're a multi billion dollar company. Surely they can dedicate a small amount of their resources to improving UX?

Because Claude Code is also used to - get this - EDIT CODE. It fills the same purpose as an editor, it just has extra hooks for their agentic garbage.

Because the editor does more. All the compute-intensive parts of the agent are in the cloud. Zero reason for an agent harness to require anything beyond a potato to run.
