Impact: Almost unusable compared to codex.
From the original report
“I think my biggest problem is it absolutely refuses (system prompt?) to do anything involving credentials, even securely in a way that isn’t leaking into logs. After that, it’s gotta be the clunkiness of computer and browser use. Almost unusable compared to codex.”
