Sure!
Yeah, definitely it's a coding agent zoo out there. But you can actually notice the polish in CC. Codex looks promising, a more naked look, I hope they invest in it, it's OSS and built in Rust, nice.
Qwen has that same jumpy scrolling as Gemini, and too many boxes, but it works well with Cerebras.
Coding agent product managers out there: stop putting boxes around text! There's no need! In Gemini, the boxes are all of different sizes, it's really ugly to look at. Think about copy-paste, multiline are all messed up with vertical box lines. Argh! Codex, which only has delicate colored border to the left, has a ctrl-t shortcut that is mandatory in TUIs: transcript mode, a ready to copy-paste print out totally togglable.
Another area of improvement is how fast and usable tooling can be. File read/write and patching can really make a difference. Also using the model for different stages of tool calling in parallel, specially if they all get faster like Cerebras. And better compression algos!
- nadis 1y agoCompletely agree with all these areas for improvements! I feel like the less UI/UX frills and the easier it is to just see the relevant information whether it's my prompt, the agent's "thinking" or todos, or relevant code changes or commands, the better. The speed and usability points you make are so critical. I'm sure these will continue to improve - and hope they do so soon!
