Am I the only one who finds the Claude Code sidebar distracting?

The persistent Claude Code sidebar is a UI cost with negative ROI. It consumes valuable screen real estate—a finite resource—for a feature I don't use in its default, always-on state.

It's a classic bloat pattern: a new feature assumes it's the primary context for all users. It should be:
* Collapsed by default
* Or a simple button to summon it
* Or an option to disable it entirely in settings

Until then, it's visual noise. A drain on developer focus with zero utility for my workflow.


cost per transaction is the only metric
