Hi, I tried Juggler a few months back, and while it's technically impressive as a one-person product, I found it super stressful to use. It emits so much output and activity, in various nested forms.

Where Claude Code and Codex have made progress recently, I feel, is with sharpening the interactivity. For example, Codex will emit a lightweight ream of "thinking", then on completion it will erase this and only show the final, coherent answer. It doesn't show much detail about which commands it runs, either. You can still drill into that, but it's usually the least important thing. Claude also does sub/side-sessions that can talk to the other sessions. So if a session finds an unrelated, pre-existing bug, it can start an adjacent session for the bug fix, and keep abreast on when the fix lands. If you start a side session to do research, it can message the other session with new findings.

I don't know if Juggler is still like it was, but I strongly recommend making it less verbose. I just couldn't deal with the noise.
