I've been using Claude Code in my terminal like a feral animal for months. Building weird stuff. Breaking things. Figuring it out as I go.

Cowork is the nice version. The "here's a safe folder for Claude to play in" version. Which is great! Genuinely. More people should try this.

But!!! The terminal lets you do more. It always will. That's just how it works.

And when Cowork catches up, you'll want to go further. The gap doesn't close. It just moves.

All of this, though, is good? I think??

Isn't this like the "but rsync" comments on Dropbox launch? The vast majority of the addressable market doesn't know what a terminal is.

I've had a similar experience. My sense is that there's no way this isn't how eventually most of knowledge work at the computer is going to work. Not necessarily through a terminal interface, I expect UIs to evolve quite a bit in the next few years, but having an omnipotent agent in the loop to do all of the gluing and gruntwork for you. Seems inevitable.
