ChatGPT desktop app panned as "5 companies shipping together" despite strong features

A developer slams the ChatGPT desktop app as a "slow, janky, incoherent mess" — praising the new spaces feature he builds video pipelines around, but noting Dev Day's 30+ features ship with broken UX, as if "5 companies all working on their own products" were forced to ship together. Another user counters that Codex's sidebar is the only one he can tolerate, underscoring how OpenAI's rapid multi-product stacking is outrunning its polish.
