Claude Code not good enough for ya?
Claude Code has absolutely zero features that help me review code or do anything else than vibe-coding and accept changes as they come in. We need diff-comparisons between different executions, tailored TUI for that kind of work and more. Claude Code is basically a MVP of that.
Still, I do use Claude Code and Codex daily as there is nothing better out there currently. But they still feel tailored towards vibe-coding instead of professional development.
I really do not want those things in Claude COde - I much prefer choosing my own diff tools etc. and running them in a separate terminal. If they start stuffing too much into the TUI they'd ruin it - if you want all that stuff built in, they have the VS Code integration.
Me neither, hence the stated preference for something completely new and different, a stab in the different direction instead of the same boring iteration on yet another agentic TUI coder.
Mind elaborating a bit on the diff tool / flow you’re using? Trying to follow along better with what CC is doing

using claude code via the VS Code plugin gives you side by side diffs as it works.

Might be a weird suggestion but here we go: - use whatever diff tool you used before LLMs came around and actually review the code? Just a suggestion. If people claim they always examine the full output at the end before they commit it, then why not fully review it using the tools used before the dawn of LLMs?
I just ask it to do a code review. It spits out a perfectly cromulent critique. Oftentimes it highlights stuff I would have missed.

Err, doesn’t it have /review?
IntelliJ's AI service as a PR summarizer that I have found very helpful
What’s wrong with using GIT for reviewing the changes?
Are any of them integrated with git? AFAIK, you'd have to instruct them to use git for you if you don't want to do it manually.
Imagine a GUI built around git branches + agents working in those branches + tooling to manage the orchestration and small review points, rather than "here's a chat and tool calling, glhf".
