The author, a longtime user of Claude Code, has decided to switch to Pi due to accumulating frustrations with the platform. Despite being an early adopter and enthusiast of Claude Code, which they believe will be remembered as a major driver of the new era of software development, they have grown tired of its limitations. A key issue was the lack of support for AGENTS.md files, which Claude Code's developers only announced they would start supporting after the author had already decided to leave, making the update too little, too late. The author is looking forward to avoiding these frustrations with Pi, citing the inconvenience of dealing with multiple file formats as a major reason for their switch.
