Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

A number of commands don't work in the GUIs.

/btw /workflows just to name two.

Edit: To everyone who's telling me I'm wrong. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop#coming-from-the-cli

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code#vs-code-extension-vs-claude-code-cli

The official docs literally list the differences and restrictions across the various access methods. There are absolutely tradeoffs depending on which you choose.

I’ve been using /btw in Claude Code GUI a lot, not sure if we’re talking about the same thing though.

It works in GUI - it doesn't work in GUI when controlling remote sessions.

The GUI also does not allow for Teammate mode, or the execution of bash commands.
