I've been using it today and honestly I'm impressed. I seem to be the exception when I say I don't care it's a vscode fork. Having access to the extension ecosystem seems like a boon to me and I could quickly get a setup to my liking to rival my current Jetbrains Claude Code setup.
It seems to streamline my existing Claude Code workflow with a much better UI. The tab complete seems the best I've experienced and the text/image selection, adding comments and iterating on a plan is genius.
Depressing to see everyone here unable to see the forest for the trees.
