Claude Code vs. Cowork Performance
Users are discussing the performance and capabilities of Claude Code, particularly in comparison to Cowork and other LLM interfaces, highlighting issues with speed, effectiveness, and the use of tools like MCP/Connectors.
Has any claude code user tried and enjoyed cowork? I am having the worst time with it, significantly slower and significantly worse at using mcp/connectors
I gave him a pass for that, I assumed he meant claude code in the first instance and confused claude code and cowork a bit.
Which LLM are the frustrated using? There's a world of difference between using Claude Code and tossing it into Copilot's web interface. The latter's results aren't as bad as I expected, but certainly didn't work out of the box.
