> I mean, that's kind of a stretch given how popular and well-regarded Claude Code is at this point.

Popularity here is irrelevant.

Just because the software is "popular", it does not always mean that the quality of the engineering and their choices is the best. Objectively, it's the model that everyone regards as the best rather than their desktop apps or the harness that drives it.

That is why people want to use the model and their subscription in other harnesses.

In this case, the desktop app is evidently poor with very embarrassing bugs and glitches like this and I expect well funded startups with the best engineers releasing very high quality code.

Obviously, this is not the case at Anthropic.
