Played around with it for a serious task for 15 mins. Compared to Claude Code:
Pros:
- Beautiful UI
- Useful sidebar, keep track of changed files, cost
- Better UX for accepting changes (has hotkeys, shows nicer diff)
Cons:
- Can't combine models. Claude Code using a combination of Haiku for menial search stuff and Sonnet for thinking is nice.
- Adds a lot of unexplained junk binary files in your directory. It's probably in the docs somewhere I guess.
- The initial init makes some CHARM.md that tries to be helpful, but everything it had did not seem like helpful things I want the model to know. Simple stuff, like, my Go tests use PascalCasing, e.g. TestCompile.
- Ctrl+C to exit crashed my terminal.
