Developers have strongly criticized Kiro’s diff functionality as poorly designed in a Linux community forum post. Users report that after completing conversations, they cannot directly view modification details. They must either accept all changes to see the full diff or manually check files one by one in the conversation history without being able to confirm individual modifications. In contrast, Claude Code CLI combined with IDE plugins clearly displays file differences, enabling developers to maintain precise control. The author questions how a modified IDE experience could be inferior to professional plugins, revealing shortcomings in AI programming tools’ user experience. This feedback offers valuable insights for developers evaluating tools and vendors optimizing products, reflecting urgent UX improvement needs in AI-assisted programming.
