Let's be clear, OpenAI's models are phenomenal. GPT-5 is already solving problems I couldn't get any other model to touch. For that, kudos.

But as a platform for developers, ChatGPT is a joke.

I'm staring at a massive file it just generated, and I can't collapse it. This is a basic feature, maybe 10 lines of JavaScript, that would make the tool infinitely more usable. Instead, my middle finger is getting a workout from all the scrolling, and I'm starting to consider using it for something more sinister.

This isn't just a minor annoyance; it's a symptom of a larger problem: OpenAI is coasting on its early success and completely ignoring the developer experience. Meanwhile, competitors are eating their lunch.

I look at Claude's Artifacts system and it's miles ahead. It's clear other companies are actually thinking about the developer's workflow. It feels like OpenAI is so high on their own supply they've forgotten that people actually have to use the thing.

So, while they've built some of the most powerful models, they are failing to build a platform that respects a developer's time and workflow. They are not a serious company when it comes to serving the developer community.

TL;DR My fingers hurt ... at the very least, can you stop forcing us to scroll hundreds of times per response?
