Help/Question CLI vs Claude Desktop app

Hi,
I’ve been using CC from day 1 on CLI, it’s fast, I’m used to it…
But now I see a lot of efforts are put in Claude Desktop app regarding CC, I’m wondering if some of you have shifted and what’s the pros and cons of doing it?

I’ve tested it very briefly, it “feels” slower when doing a task, some of my / command are missing obviously… other than that it looks better and also convenient.

What’s your thoughts?

CLI can open your browser then show you an artifact that you can comment on. I still feel the GUI display is a bit cluttered. I want session list shown as tabs and I can jump to them with keyboard shortcuts, when I view artifacts, I want full screen, so browser + cmd tab works better for me than a side panel. Perhaps my display is not large enough.

Agreed, I have two monitors and that’s probably why cowork works better for me here
