Why this dev ditched the Claude CLI for a desktop client: targeted replies
Capaj · reddit · 2026-10-20
A Reddit user explains the number one reason they use a desktop client over the Claude CLI: the ability to easily target a passage of the model's output and reply to it directly. A screenshot shows selecting a specific bullet about scheduler timeouts and replying inline — an interaction that's clumsy to replicate in a terminal. The post argues this workflow is a must-have for agentic coding tools.
