Claude Desktop redesign criticized: hidden controls, more clicks, pointless animations
uisaful · reddit · 2026-10-17
A heavy Claude Code Desktop user running 10+ parallel sessions slams the new UI: you can no longer pick a branch or toggle worktree isolation before starting a session, context/usage stats are buried, the effort slider is replaced by nested menus, and pointless background animations were added. Core argument: Claude Code is a professional dev tool — hiding essential controls just transfers complexity to the user.
