What commenters say

• Some users prefer using Pi in a terminal, while others prefer a GUI agent multiplexer for productivity.
• The choice between using a terminal or a GUI agent multiplexer depends on personal preference and workflow.
• Using a GUI agent multiplexer can simplify the workflow and increase productivity, but may not be necessary for everyone.
• Customizing and extending Pi can be beneficial for users who want to tailor it to their specific needs.
• The use of extensions and tools can increase token burn, but some extensions can also lower token burn.
• Some users prefer the minimal approach of Pi, while others prefer the 'batteries included' approach of other harnesses.
• The importance of productivity and ease of use is debated, with some users prioritizing it over customization and control.
