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?
I've only used the Claude TUI, but it is extremely sluggish. It takes 1-2 seconds minimum to launch on a MBP M4 with 48 GB of memory. I have also encountered plenty of display-related bugs that you can find documented all over the internet. If you had to group this into a software quality bucket, it certainly would not fall into "good". Maybe "mid".

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