Yes I don't understand why Claude code needs to be a terminal app. It doesn't compose with any other command line program and the terminal interface is limiting. I'm surprised nobody has yet made a coding assistant that runs in the browser or as a standalone app. At this point it doesn't really need to integrate with my text editor or IDE.

(This doesn't really contradict your overall point though.)
