Could you elaborate? I mean, I get the usual criticism of web/Electron-based desktop applications (slow, includes a whole Chrome engine, non-native UI, …) but Claude Code isn't one of them?

That's where codex-cli shines (rust)

the startup time is crazy, you can start writing as soon as you hit the command

(I don't use codex, just noticed that it's crazy fast)

    Sadly the fast startup time is overshadowed by the slow response time of the codex agent
