Yes I don't understand why Claude code needs to be a terminal app.
It doesn't compose with any other command line program and the terminal interface is limiting.
I'm surprised nobody has yet made a coding assistant that runs in the browser or as a standalone app. At this point it doesn't really need to integrate with my text editor or IDE.

For what it's worth, it absolutely can, just not when invoked in interactive mode.
(This doesn't really contradict your overall point though.)
