People I'm coming here to say that I have ptsd from Gemini touching the code where there is always one new feature implemented and ten other broken.
Claude not that just gets it but comes back with tips and clear clarification follow up. It has been effortlessly enjoyable.
You have no clue what I've endured with AGY and how lucky you're to have selected Claude as your harness.
I'm coming here to say I migrated. Finally.
AGY: I miss the polished experience and user friendliness. Google managed to make the prompt really the default and most powerful AGY view, Implementation Plans, Walkthoughs, Tasks; - all which you can comment, load various files, runs your dev server, very cleanly presented A2A relationships, super easy and scalable GCP integrations... just comfortable and easy.
CODE: Prompt is a linux VM living in isolation, can't touch anything on your machine. Good for organising tasks and as a assistant but not coding. Code for coding. Code is nowhere as polished as AGY, at a first glance looks like a downgrade. Way more CLI interactions and manual file maintenance and nowhere as near interaction with implementation plans or other project docs. MCPs also a challenge, can take hours setting them up, then the plugins and the rest. CLI does most of the things.
While AGY looks better initially and CODE takes effort to setup, it all becomes apparent after the first coding task. I pumped 15500 line .js file to CODE and got it broken down into separate Module, Tools and Integration files and keep one lean main thread file with zero effort. Than onto the first coding task... my oh my. I did more with my 5hrs CODE limit that I couldn't achieve in multiple AGY weekly limits. Errorless. Effortless. Main agent as a planner/architect, sub-agents as coders. CODE is the bomb ladies and gentleman.
Unfortunately AGY doesn't rank the best which I believe became very obvious over the last couple of weeks
I'm putting this here in an attempt to get Google engineers to come and answer to their subscribers.
If Google has any moral compass should come out in public, recognise AGY has serious usage issues and propose some timelines so we know:
They know they have a problem
They are working to fix the problem
Furthermore, if AGY is just a cash cow experiment they can ignore us all that's fine as we'll go elsewhere at whatever the cost is.
Unproductive. Unusable. Unfairly costed.
