Genuinely I have no idea what you mean by buggy. Sure there are some problems here and there, but my personal threshold for “buggy” is much higher. I guess, for a lot of other people as well, given the uptake and usage.

I've read a lot of people complain that it's buggy, here and in other forums.

Two weeks ago typing became super laggy. It was totally unusable.

Last week I had to reinstall Claude Desktop because every time I opened it, it just hung.

This week I am sometimes opening it and getting a blank screen. It eventually works after I open it a few times.

And of course there's people complaining that somehow they're blowing their 5 hour token budget in 5 messages.

It's really buggy.

There's only so long their model will be their advantage before they all become very similar, and then the difference will be how reliable the tools are.

Right now the Claude Code code quality seems extremely low.

And those bugs were semi-fixed and people are still using it. So speed of fixes are there.

I can’t comment on Claude Desktop, sorry. Personally haven’t used it much.

The token usage looks like is intentional.

And I agree about the underlying model being the moat. If there’s something marginally better that comes up, people will switch to it (myself included). But for now it’s doing the job, despite all the hiccups, code quality and etc.
