User Suggests Merging 3 Claude Desktop Modes, Calls Current Design Confusing

Users have reported that switching between the Chat, Cowork, and Code modes in the Claude desktop app is confusing and suggested merging them into a single mode. Users feel Chat is a watered-down version of Cowork, while Cowork feels like a restricted version of Code. From a user perspective, distinguishing between the three adds unnecessary cognitive load and decision-making costs with little practical value.
