I'm concerned that i don't see the "Plan with Opus, impl with Sonnet" feature with Claude 2.0.
If Sonnet 4.5 is always better than Opus 4.1, then it doesn't make sense to plan with Opus. I hope this is the case.
You can use it for writing, data processing, admin work, file management, etc.
I compiled a list of non-coding use cases for Claude Code here:
Something I realized about this category of tool (I call them "terminal agents" but that already doesn't work now there's an official VS Code extension for this - maybe just "coding agents" instead) is that they're actually an interesting form of general agent . Claude Code, Codex CLI etc can effectively do anything that a human could do by typing commands into a computer. They're incredibly dangerous to use if you d…
> Claude Code, Codex CLI etc can effectively do anything that a human could do by typing commands into a computer. They still don't have good integration with the web browser, if you are debugging frontend you need to carry screenshots manually, it cannot inspect the DOM, run snippets of code in the console, etc.
I've seen Codex CLI install Playwright Python when I asked it to do this and it found it wasn't yet available in the environment.

It's pretty new, but so far it's been a lifesaver.
VS Code plugin seems to be missing quite a number of the CLI features.
FINALLY checkpoints! All around good changes, Claude Code is IMHO the best of the LLM CLI tools.
It does sometimes feel that all of these systems are slowly rediscovering that the OG, Aider ( https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider ), had a near perfect architecture for pair programming with LLMs from the start.
Claude Code is so much better than anything else. If Claude Code was a car it'd be the ideal practical vehicle for all kinds of uses. If OpenAI Codex was a car, it'd be a cauldron with wheels. The reason I say this is CC offers so many features: plan mode, hooks, escape OR ctrl-c to interrupt it, and today added quick rewind. Meanwhile Codex can't even wrap text to the width of the terminal; you can't type to it whil…
It still bothers me that almost every agentic TUI is written in TS + React. It often consumes at least a few GB of RAM. No one bothers about it. Everybody is trying to ship as fast as possible.
