I'll be honest, I don't actually understand what people mean when they say Claude Code is bad software.

Seems pretty good to me. Presumably this is about the TUI version?

Do you really think that having this many issues is justifiable/ok?

		Those numbers don't really mean anything. Claude Code has millions of users, and that issue forum is the most obvious place for them to ask questions or request features. If there were 11,000 open and confirmed bugs then yeah, that would mean the software is bad.

		I dont't really know stats about such things, but I assume the adoption of CC has been insane compared to almost anything, and is also like two years old? Yeah, not surprised. But also, if they all use 500 agents daily and latest models can "one shot" everything, one would think 5k issues are fixed in no time... Havent used CC in some time, worked fine last time I tried.

I'm surprised you think Claude Code is good software. I find it so hard to use because it is fundamentally constrained as a TUI. It is buggy, clunky and slow. It is sooo slow.

One example of what is particularly bad with it: tool calls and progress. Codex UI does it so much better. The way in which CC waits for a task to complete etc is really poorly done compared to Codex.

Another thing that's missing: no way to continue a side chat in Claude Code - this is easy in Codex with /side and it is super usefu.

		Claude Code has /btw which I think is the equivalent of /side in Codex. I don't think Claude Code is perfect software, but I don't think fact that Codex has a slightly nicer implementation of certain patterns makes Claude Code bad software.
