I started using it a few days ago and then I need to find something in the terminal. But....there is no find! Why? Can you guys add it? This is such a basic and critical feature that I may have to just go back to...just about anything else.
Yes, this rings true, it took me over a month to actually get to at least 1x of my usual productivity with Claude Code. There is a ton of setup and ton of things to learn and try to see what works. What to watch out for and how to babysit it so it doesn't go off the rails (quite heavy handed approach works best for me). It's kind of like a shitty, but very fast and very knowledgable junior developer. At this moment it still maybe isn't "worth it" for a lot of devs if productivity (and developer ergonomics) is the only goal, but it is clear to me that this is where the industry is heading and I think every dev will eventually have to get on board. These tools really just started to be somewhat decent this year. I'm 100% sure that in a year or two it will be the default for everyone in a way that you simply won't be able to compete without it at all. It would be like using a shovel instead of an excavator. Remember, right now is the worst it'll ever be.
The idea here is an IDE for Claude Code specifically. is most likely the strongest coding agent right now, but not everyone loves the command line only interface. So I totally get it.
So I tried it for a hot minute a few weeks ago, but uninstalled promptly once it looked like it just cannot handle pasted images very well at all. It would paste it as huge Base64 string right in there and completely lock up the UI on my MacBook Pro M3 Max. Has that been fixed?
I'm really looking for a good IDE (or something better than just a terminal) for Claude Code, but I was left disappointed by Claudia...
An MCP is definitely on the roadmap. My objective is to become the context engine for LLMs so having a MCP is required. However, there will be things from a UX perspective that you'll lose out on if you just use the MCP.
