YES, and I also find that plan mode incentivizes bad practices and results in steadily reduced thought. On bad practices, I refer to zero/one-shot big bangs over iterative features/bugfixes. On reduced thought, assuming the plan was sufficiently comprehensive because it seemed to ask reasonable questions.

It can still be used in ways that I personally consider correct, but I think the parts I personally consider incorrect are so inherently alluring that I find plan mode to be an overall net negative for software development. I celebrate its apparently impending default removal (at least Claude Code and OpenCode are openly stating that they think it's time for it to go).
