Using Kiro CLI 80% of the time at work and I keep drifting back to Claude Code. Am I holding it wrong?

Kiro CLI is what we use at work, so I've put quite a few hours into it over the past few weeks. In my personal time, I use Claude Code, and I constantly find myself wanting to go back to it.

Before I write this off as bias, I'd like a quick sanity check from people using Kiro regularly. A few of these issues might just be down to my local setup, and I'd much rather find a fix/workaround than just complain.

(Setup: Windows 11, WSL2 Ubuntu)

  • Sessions & Persistence: If I forget which directory I started a session in, I have to go folder by folder to find the history. On top of that, I lost every active session after a forced Windows restart. Is there a global session manager or a persistence setting I missed? (Claude Code restored sessions without issue).
  • The scroll jump bug: While typing, the TUI randomly jumps back to the top of the conversation. I now have to keep a finger on the End key. This was reported in #7784 back in April and is still marked pending-maintainer-response. Is there any known workaround?
  • Images & Clipboard: Having to use /paste every time feels clunky. In Claude Code, standard Ctrl+V just works. Is there a config flag or wrapper that enables native clipboard paste for images in Kiro?
  • Plugins / Skills / MCP: Claude Code has an ecosystem of add-ons/superpowers that noticeably alter agent behavior. I couldn't find a direct equivalent or clear MCP integration guide for Kiro. Did I miss it, or is extensibility still in the works?
  • Output Quality: Fully subjective, but consistent across the same models (Sonnet / Opus): Claude Code consistently produces better results. The model is only half the equation—the rest is the harness (system prompts, context pruning, tool definitions). I'm open to being told my prompting style is the culprit here, though.
  • Very subjective, but TUI of Claude Code is so much better, more intuitive and user-friendly

TL;DR: For those who genuinely prefer Kiro over Claude Code, what makes it click for you?

President's Circle + World Elite Mastercard CDP, what do you stack on top? (PC codes, rebooking, etc.)

Long-time renter, President's Circle. I always book with the CDP that comes with my World Elite Mastercard, it usually beats the public rate, but I feel like I'm still leaving money on the table.

A few questions for those who optimize harder than I do:

  1. PC (promotional coupon) codes, do they still stack on top of a CDP for you? Where do you find current ones that actually apply (Hertz emails, AAA promos, somewhere else)?
  2. Rebooking, anyone using any services? I checked reviews about AutoSlash and it seems it can messed up your booking, I just want some read-only notification based tool, that will check prices daily if it worth to rebook my booking.

For what it's worth: I've seen the Amex Platinum CDP floating around, but I don't have that card and I'd rather not use a code I'm not entitled to, not worth having the rate repriced at the counter. More over it can cause also insurance problems if something happens on the road.

Any other tricks that I miss?

Switzerland spotted all the way in Markinch, Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Couldn't believe my eyes seeing Swiss plates in this small Scottish town. Someone drove a very long way for the Highland Games!
