I still am mind blown at how bad CC is as software. It’s just not that hard of a problem. I get that harnesses aren’t trivial, but they’re not insane either. And the fact that it’s running on a JS runtime (that they bought!) is also crazy. Why not Go/BubbleTea? Why not literally anything native? It makes no sense
I don’t want to be a jackass, but it’s hard to take anything Boris says seriously when he’s headed up such weird software. And it’s not like resourcing or money is an issue for them. If Claude was so damn good, why does CC suck?
Those numbers don't really mean anything. Claude Code has millions of users, and that issue forum is the most obvious place for them to ask questions or request features.
If there were 11,000 open and confirmed bugs then yeah, that would mean the software is bad.
No one knows how many bugs claude has because Anthropic auto-closes Issues (or at least used to) if there isn't someone constantly pinging the issue every two weeks. I've contributed to several issues that were confirmed by several other people, which were they were auto-closed after people gave up confirming the problem without any response from Anthropic. They seemingly don't care if it isn't on fire or at least smoldering heavily, which seems really bad in my book if you're trying to make even reasonably good software.

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