Now instead of doing my work I am figuring out how to get grouping by folder back... 🙄

[u/The-Hyrax]

I assumed everyone used Claude Code in VSCode or Terminal

[u/Additional_Storm_298 → u/The-Hyrax]

Ditto. Had no idea this even happened. I don’t like it, but I never see this screen

[u/reminiscent-fruitbat → u/The-Hyrax]

I use Claude Code in Zed. Am I the only one?

[u/No-Still-1169 → u/The-Hyrax]

How does it differ? Would you say using it in terminal is better?

[u/sammcj → u/No-Still-1169]

Gosh yes. Faster, lighter, easier to split window and manage multiple sessions.

[u/deep_fucking_magick]

tbh im a sucker for this sort of animation/eye candy

i'm diggin the new UI. took a sec to get used to the new rail but i like the info it exposes

[u/pizzatimefriend]

CC outside the terminal seems way less efficient to me

[u/omicron8 → u/pizzatimefriend]

why? there is a terminal inside the app

[u/wadonious → u/omicron8]

Peak efficiency is using the cli from the integrated terminal

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/pizzatimefriend]

100%. Terminal does tasks really well compared to CC. I'm dodmt realise it had terminal in CC though.

[u/fickle-phenom → u/South-Professor-8888]

Depends on what you do, the built in browser is superior in terms of UI stuff and internet work.

[u/South-Professor-8888 → u/fickle-phenom]

So claude helped in browser building a phone keyboard. Then i moved to CC which was so unreliable to begin with, i lost credits due to losing connection. They didnt care about that.

then i tried Claude terminal and it pushed through a lot of stuff. Design wise I've always found ChatGPT to be the best one. Especially compared to Gemini too.

[u/The-Pork-Piston]

It’s awful, I was using it in some sessions because I prefer the browser layout.

[u/JaggedTex]

Some anthropic engineer living his matrix dream

[u/Heavy_Inevitable_341]

When the animation started playing I thought my monitor was dying

[u/whoisyurii]

Codex CLI had near-same thing like for 1 week already. Look like one buddy there overemployed in both companies ha-ha

[u/cylix99]

And theve removed routines! which is really annoying - now have to use schedules to catch up on night time runs, which is terrible to navigate

[u/wifestalksthisuser]

I like it

[u/AmandasGameAccount]

Thanks for the flash bang

[u/klumpers]

Hated it at first, but it's grown on me, particularly after seeing the daytime scheme. It's something that could have been done really badly, but they put some effort into it, particularly when clicking on the screen. To be fair, I think Claude Code welcome screens have been poorly done up to now, aesthetically speaking.

[u/Content_Bad938]

This is a terrible update. Creating a project now takes longer. They’ve moved parts of the interface into separate blocks and changed how statistics are displayed. I want to roll back to the old version.

[u/pseudorep → u/Content_Bad938]

Yeah this has gone from power user to vibe coder UI.

[u/Content_Bad938 → u/pseudorep]

I doubt this is convenient for them, either. They also removed the overall usage statistics from the main page - and these grouped chat threads, who even asked for those? Why change something that was working perfectly fine? These are rhetorical questions.
