Yeah, exactly. For everyone who might not know, the chat apps add lots of complex system prompting to handle and shape personality, tone, general usability, etc. IDE's also do this (with Claude Code being one of the ones that are closest to "bare" model that you can get) but at they are at least guiding it's behavior to be really good at coding tasks. Another reason is using the Agent feature that IDE's have had for a few months now which gives it the ability to search/read/edit files across your codebase. You may not like the idea of this and it feels like losing control, but it's the future. After months of using it I've learned how to get it to do what I want but I think a lot of people who try it once and stop get frustrated that it does something dumb and just assume it's not good. That's a practice and skill problem not a model problem.
