Hey everyone, So, I’ve been using both the Claude Code CLI and the ‘Code mode’ in the Desktop app (or web interface with file uploads) quite a bit, and I’m noticing a trend in my workflow. Don’t get me wrong, the Claude Code CLI is incredibly impressive – it’s fast, and the integration right into the terminal is super slick for quick tasks and checks. However, I’m finding that when I’m dealing with larger architectural changes, or when I really need to visualize the ‘big picture’ of a UI or component structure, I gravitate more towards the Desktop/web interface. It just feels more comfortable for those broader tasks. The ability to ‘chat’ more naturally with the code, attaching files and getting more visual feedback in the app, seems to lend itself better to exploration and refactoring bigger chunks of code, compared to the more command-driven interaction of the CLI. Is anyone else finding a similar balance? Or have you fully embraced the CLI for everything? Curious to hear how others are integrating these tools into their development process. submitted by /u/LittleJuggernaut7365
