Allow me a momentary rant...

I love Claude Code and use it all day, every day for work. I would self identify as an unofficial Claude Code evangelist amongst my coworkers and friends.

But Claude Code is buggy as hell. Flicker is still present. Plugin/skill configuration is an absolute shitshow. The docs are (very) outdated/incomplete. The docs are also poorly organized, embarrassingly so. I know Claude Code's feature set quite well, and I still have a hard time navigating their docs to find a particular thing sometimes. Did you know Claude Code supports "rules" (similar to the original Cursor Rules)? Find where they are documented, and tell me that's intuitive and discoverable. I'm sorry, but with an unlimited token (and I assume, by now, personnel) budget, there is no excuse for the literal inventors of Claude Code to have documentation this bad.

I seriously wish they would spend some more cycles on quality rather than continuing to push so many new features. I love new features, but when I can't even install a plugin properly (without manual file system manipulation) because the configuration system is so bugged, inscrutable, and incompletely documented, I think it's obvious that a rebalancing is needed. But then again, why bother if you're winning anyway?

Side note: comparing it to Gemini CLI is simply cruel. No one should ever have to use or think about Gemini CLI.
