That explains why the UI keeps changing.

How is this a proper product? Every time you open the desktop app the buttons may be on a completely random place

The UI has improved substantially over the past six months. New capabilities are prominently featured and less-used ones are de-emphasized or removed. Every product goes through this type of evolution. The difference with Claude Code is that at the speed they iterate, it happens a lot faster and is therefore more noticeable.

You can call it however you want, but in the end it is just poor engineering. Imaging building a bridge that needs construction every week

Software is very different than other engineering disciplines. It is meant to be malleable. I think you need a better analogy.

customers don't like big changes to workflows they get used to; adding a new feature or a new button or menu item isn't a big deal but rearranging things so often start to feel random and shows little respect for the customer (or signs of any cohesive product design)

Is it, though? Imagine NASA software having to change in-flight every day...

Claude Code is not in-flight software though.

That's what I mean, it's a piece of badly engineered software

Sorry, I'm not following. It's badly engineered because it changes frequently, or because it does not control spacecraft?
