And why are you comparing Claude Code to your editor?

That depends on how you define "improve". They've added a ton of features to it over time. Who said minimizing RAM usage was something they are prioritizing right now?

Because the editor does more. All the compute-intensive parts of the agent are in the cloud. Zero reason for an agent harness to require anything beyond a potato to run.

Do you work for Anthropic or something?

You seem weirdly invested in defending bad decisions.

Even if you're and AI booster, shouldn't you want a better UI?

They're a multi billion dollar company. Surely they can dedicate a small amount of their resources to improving UX?

Because Claude Code is also used to - get this - EDIT CODE. It fills the same purpose as an editor, it just has extra hooks for their agentic garbage.
