I've been loyal to Claude but it would be really nice to have these tabs be consolidated
Codex is a lot nicer in that regard
One annoyance is each tab is missing features that would be really nice to have in a combined interface - why doesn't Cowork have a `fork` feature on threads? - why doesn't Code have a concept of "Projects" like Cowork?

我前不久也吐槽过 Claude Desktop 的问题，不只是这个标签页合并的问题，右侧的面板也是相当糟糕的设计
OpenAI 因为 ChatGPT 太成功所以他们没有太在意 Coding Agent；
然后 Anthropic 抓住了机会做出了 Claude Code；
Claude Code 在 TUI 上太过成功以至于他们忽视了 GUI，所以不愿意花心思在 Desktop 版本上，结果就是 Claude App 脱颖而出；
吐槽一下 Claude Code Desktop 的设计：
1. 如果你上一个会话是用了 Plan mode，那么下一次会话默认就会是 Plan mode，这会导致新开会话忘记改掉的话，简单任务也要写个 plan
2. 左侧 sidebar 完全不会根据 Projects 分组，一大坨放在一起，新建会话，需要二次点击才能设置正确的 Project
3. 右侧的 Panel 列表摆在一起相互挤占空间，多开几个就看不见了，不如 tabs 简单直接
4. Cowork 和 Code 真心没必要分开做成两套不同的产品

@jerryjliu0 interesting
@jerryjliu0 routines UX is so rough. I have ~10 routines, every morning I have to manually click 2-3 buttons to go to each routine run, make adjustments, read the results, etc.
it's annoying.
@jerryjliu0 a broken abstraction, no less
@ajambrosino @jerryjliu0 Interesting how you can import Claude conversations in Codex but not ChatGPT ones
@ajambrosino @jerryjliu0 Interesting how the stale file preview after Codex edits it is still not resolved 😬
@rileybrown @AnthropicAI Would LOVE to see the Claude desktop app become a true "superapp", with an in-app browser everywhere, etc.
@rileybrown @AnthropicAI The moment you start designing complex tabs for an LLM, you’ve already lost the interface war.
@ShashankDe5535 @ajambrosino @jerryjliu0 Then provide them that feedback in chats or reports 😭 you ain’t gotta just sit here and keep picking things wrong with it
@jxlz_jwst @ajambrosino @jerryjliu0 why do you think these guys are online on this app all the time?
@rileybrown @jerryjliu0 @AnthropicAI massive misunderstanding of people who are not in their twenties or massively online
cowork is absolutely ripping through middle white collar America
Metrics through the roof
@rileybrown @AnthropicAI I don't like using it much but I'm sure there are alot of normies who love it.
@rileybrown @AnthropicAI Yeah I never use Cowork and never will its just a way worse version of Claude Code for idiots lol
@rileybrown @AnthropicAI It’s so hard trying to explain to co- workers the difference between everything
@rileybrown @AnthropicAI yes, no one understands why this is a thing. terminal for claude code is still so much better!
@jerryjliu0 I don’t see a point in using the app for cc though. It’s buggy as hell. The teleport doesn’t work half the time, and the diffs viewer is also limited.
