I've not used Claude Claude yet, but why would it be bad if it gains features that people use?
Did people ever complain about Photoshop to have too many features demanding some cognitive load? Excel? Practically every IDE out there?
There is a reason people use those tools instead of the plain text editor or paint. It's for power users and people will become power users of AI as well. Some will forever stick to chatgpt and some will use an ever increasing ecosystem of tools.
because devs will have no clue how their systems work, the only ones who do will be LLMs, gatekept behind an ever-increasing cost-per-usage.
It is a very significant consideration for every one of those tools. The introduction of the "ribbon" in Excel was moderately controversial in 2007.
The default tools made available in Photoshop is why it remains on top to this day.
good question. the difference with AI tools is the interface isn't stable in the same way photoshop or excel is. with traditional software you learn it once and muscle memory carries you. with LLM tools the model itself changes, the optimal prompting style shifts, features interact with model behavior in unpredictable ways. so the cognitive load compounds differently. not saying features are bad, just that the tradeoffs are different
