Hi all! Today I decided I would give in to zeitgeist pressure and try CC. I am coming from using a heavily modified gptel and sometimes pi. I have been happy with both so I never thought I would swtich but I felt adventurous today. I must say I am so far disappointed. Most of the time I have no idea what is in the context, I can’t interact directly with subagents, often it’s unclear what files have been edited, I have very indirect control over the system prompt, math is not rendered in any way, I have to click on a command to get any information about what it is or whether it succeeded, any kind of info about what the agent is doing is hidden (I was hoping for thought summaries), there barely seems to be any configurability… I hope it is clear that I don’t want to pick a fight. I’m just trying to understand the appeal and the LLMs tell me I am “spot on” with my criticism, though based on CC’s popularity I am clearly not. Should I maybe try using CC in claude desktop or inside an IDE to get a better experience? Thanks! submitted by /u/Mobile-Examination94
