Genuine curiosity: what's it lacking?

The CLI tools for automation are still a pain to use and missing functionality, which also means LLMs use it less; Claude gives up when it sees Chrome isn’t installed unless I specifically tell it to try and use Firefox.

I created an automation tool recently for taking screenshots (for SOC2 reporting, hopefully tptacek is proud), and getting it working with FF on the CLI was very painful (but necessary since I needed my cookies!)

Yeah I'm not sure what they are talking about...

Joke: it doesn't have 80% market share.

But also with AI, the most I'm doing is hitting inspect and sending problem elements. Maybe screen resizing for mobile.
