I pay a Max subscription since a long time, I like their model but I hate their tools:

- Claude Desktop looks like a demo app. It's slow to use and so far behind the Codex app that it's embarassing.

- Claude Code is buggy has hell and I think I've never used a CLI tool that consume so much memory and CPU. Let's not talk about the feature parity with other agents.

- Claude Agent SDK is poorly documented, half finished, and is just thin wrapper around a CLI tool…

Oh and none of this is open source, so I can do nothing about it.

My only option to stay with their model is to build my own tool. And now I discover that using my subscription with the Agent SDK is against the term of use?

I'm not going to pay 500 USD of API credits every months, no way. I have to move to a different provider.

I agree that Claude Code is buggy as hell, but:

What do you mean feature parity with other agents? It seems to me that other CLI agents are quite far from Claude Code in this regard.

Which other CLI agents are that? Because I've found OpenCode to be A LOT better than Claude-Code.

I regret ever promoting that Claude Code crap. I remember when it was nothing but glowing reviews everywhere. Honestly AI companies should stick to what they are good at: direct API interface to powerful models.

We are heading toward a $1000/month model just to use LLMs in the cloud.

They still have that. If that's all you wanted then what are you complaining about

It's funny, you are probably in the cohort that made Antropic have to pursue this type of decision so aggressively.

I had a Claude code instance using 55 GB of RAM yesterday.

I got so tired of cursor that I started writing down every bug I encountered. The list is currently at 30 entries, some of them major bugs such as pressing "apply" on changes not actually applying changes or models getting stuck in infinite loops and burning 50 million tokens.

I tried to have Cursor change a list of US States and Provinces from a list to a dictionary and it did, but it also randomly deleted 3 states.
