Claude's capabilities are genuinely impressive, yet its command-line dependency remains a real bottleneck. Let's be honest—most users today simply won't touch a terminal. The transition feels inevitable: we're witnessing AI tools mirror that seismic shift from DOS to graphical interfaces. Moving beyond CLI architecture isn't just convenient—it's essential for mainstream adoption. The trajectory is clear for anyone paying attention.

CLI is really a stumbling block, but to be honest, most people probably won't actually use the GUI version.

This CLI thing really discouraged a lot of people. To be honest, it can only take off if it becomes GUI-based.

ngl CLI really discouraged a lot of people, and that's true... but after the GUI is released, will Claude still feel as "professional"?

CLI is really an old-fashioned tool, and most people don't want to deal with command lines at all. That's correct.

The CLI interface has long been outdated; GUI is the way to go... But Claude is still sticking to the command line, isn't that just self-limiting?
