I don’t use it heavily. I had to turn off the auto-suggestions, because they were almost always wrong, and the hijack the tab key, which makes writing my hand painful (having to hit escape before every tab). I tried looking for a way to change the keybinding a year ago, but it didn’t seem possible.
I will occasionally use the Ask sidebar to see if it gives me some good options or for a quick syntax lookup. That’s about it.
It got Agent mode recently, which it defaults to. When this first happened, I went to ask a question and the agent just started doing stuff and destroyed my code in a way that undo didn’t fix. I had to go back to the commit history and make some manual changes to get back to where I was. I never used the agent again.
There has been some talk about getting Claude Code, but the problem is that it takes so long to make these enterprise deals and get something rolled out, that there is something new by the time we get the last new thing deployed. The pace of evolution in this space is faster than the enterprise moves.
I can only assume that when the next model releases, people will say the current Claude Code isn’t very good… so I’m probably not missing much in real terms. It kind of reminds me of video game graphics. The bleeding edge of the current-gen is always talked about as if its photo realistic and so amazing… then looking back at the same game 10 years later, and it looks like trash compared to the new bleeding edge. So maybe it’s not worth getting so worked up.
