Last time I tried Claude Desktop is seemed unfinished/beta.
I am still in the console. I let the desktop “cook” a bit more. But I hardly wait to use its GUI when done.
It is complete, they keep adding more features. The UI could do with a lot of improvement.
What I would like most is a chronologically listed chats/cowork (across projects). I am often working on 3 different projects, and I have to search the last session in each, when I want to switch - which is often.
I am impressed that a Claude Code terminal session can communicate with a Claude desktop session. This makes the transition between terminal and desktop easier.
On the other hand, the Claude desktop wastes so much screen space. You can see much more text in the terminal.
