The biggest problem I have with Claude Code is that if, for some reason, the past discussion is not in the terminal then there is no way to review it. This is crucial to understand why my project went one way and not the other.

Aider might be less polished but at least it keeps an .md file with the chat history. That's why I am back to Aider + claude-opus-4.

This is an important point. I hope they'll address this soon. I've just started tinkering with Code and took it for granted that I wouldn't lose the "conversation" when the terminal restarted.

Maybe just ask it to save off the contents of the session as it goes?

I've found it useful to have Claude Code basically take notes in a Markdown file as it's working. When needed, edit this manually + other context and feed it into a new session. This has been fairly useful for longer-running work.

I've switched as soon as Jetbrains Junie was released. Before blowing $100 on cloude code was far too much. CLI was a stopgap for my tooling, but overall Junie is so much nicer to use and cheaper.

p.s. claude keeps trying to charge my card for subscription and wouldn't let me cancel it. Now on the basic plan some of the older projects aren't accessible so they've totally lost me. Online tons of horror stories people getting banned while unable to cancel their membership.

It saves all your conversations though. You have to start it with --continue or --resume
