I've been using the Claude Code desktop app for a while and it works really well for me.

Visual diffs are nice, the plan view is helpful when outlining a task etc. but I keep noticing a lot of the developers I follow/in here seem to mainly use the CLI, and a lot of new features appear to ship there first.

I get the obvious side like the CLI is faster once you're comfortable in terminal and I can get it connected into other tools etc.

What I'm trying to understand though is the day-to-day use case from people who've actually used both:

• What specifically made you switch to the CLI (or made you stay on the desktop app)?
• Are there interactive workflows (not just automation/scripting) that feel a lot better in the CLI?

I guess I have FOMO and just curious!
