I agree that terminal usage shouldn’t be the mainstream for Agents. I strongly recommend Paseo, the most user-friendly multi-Agent graphical interface, with remote connection speeds far surpassing Codex, and it can also be used for multi-Agent orchestration. Even as a veteran programmer like me, I don’t think managing terminal sessions through tmux is a convenient thing. In my view, the terminal era for Agents may never have truly existed.
Yuchen Jin (@Yuchenj_UW): I haven’t touched Claude Code or Codex CLI in a while.
The terminal era is over imo. It’s the wrong interface for coding agents. Tabs are ephemeral, but context is persistent, and managing 30 tabs is pure cognitive overhead.
I don’t really need an IDE like Cursor either. I
