The difference to me is that I can quickly switch in and out of “AI mode” with Warp. So it’s a terminal when I want that, and it’s an AI assistant when I want that.

With Claude Code, you’re stuck in AI mode all the time (which is slow for running vanilla terminal commands) or you have to have a second window for just terminal commands.

Edit: just read some documentation saying Claude has a “bash mode” where it will actually pass through the commands, so off to try that out now.
