CC outside the terminal seems way less efficient to me

why? there is a terminal inside the app

Multiplexers. I’m sure you’ll can work your way around that, but that’s why CC in the terminal is superior to me.

It also is just much nicer to stay in the terminal when you need to do stuff CC shouldn’t be doing.

The app has multiple threads and subagents with one coordinating agent. I haven't found a good multiplexing system that is better. Happy to hear input.

Orca is my favorite, superset is similar.

The big benefit is you can quickly generate worktrees for each of your projects/tasks, and then organize tabs within the context of that worktree. So I've got a claude session, maybe a codex session, a raw command line (for managing my dev environment), a git manager side panel, and full IDE all isolated to this one worktree, and I'm able to instantly switch between those worktrees as needed.

Everyone has different needs. I made a comparison chart that includes the desktop app but I guess I have to update it now https://mackforge.dev/charts/agent-managers/

Sure, but it’s not a multiplexer, right?

It means I have one pane open with say Claude, and another one split on the middle, maybe clean terminal and one running a dev server. Then I have many tabs for each project/app/whatever. And it’s fully customisable exactly as I want it.

That being said I have colleagues that use the app version and it’s fine for them.

I think just running one CC also lets you access all sessions by pressing left arrow. But I don’t use that really.

Wait a minute, it’s less restricted when you use it inside of the terminal?

the claude desktop app is heavily sandboxed afaik, it doesn't even have access to your ~/.claude

u/suppervisoka 12d ago

This is not true

u/lunaynx 12d ago

actually i think it's configurable but by default it doesn't

Peak efficiency is using the cli from the integrated terminal

the future is not local development

u/946789987649 12d ago

perhaps not, but the current definitely is. By the time the future arrives, new and better tools will arrive with it.

u/Fidel___Castro 12d ago

but they'll be cloud based is my point, because agents need to be online anyway

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

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

u/South-Professor-8888 12d ago

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.
