I'll be honest, I don't actually understand what people mean when they say Claude Code is bad software.

Seems pretty good to me. Presumably this is about the TUI version?

I'm surprised you think Claude Code is good software. I find it so hard to use because it is fundamentally constrained as a TUI. It is buggy, clunky and slow. It is sooo slow.

One example of what is particularly bad with it: tool calls and progress. Codex UI does it so much better. The way in which CC waits for a task to complete etc is really poorly done compared to Codex.

Another thing that's missing: no way to continue a side chat in Claude Code - this is easy in Codex with /side and it is super usefu.

Do you really think that having this many issues is justifiable/ok?
