On the flip side, the ChatGPT desktop app is native on Mac and it's buggy and feature-incomplete compared to the web version.

100% - amazing this crap get released when "Add to Dock" is far better - zoom, copy/paste, search, font size - all works just like in normal browser.
Amazingly both implementations burn 100% CPU when rendering text, which is just bonkers.
Claude's web app crashes after few days and uses 30% on idle.
When rendering text, what would you expect CPU to be? For however long it takes to render, you’d expect it to max out.

And doesn't work on Intel Macs. :-/
What are some of the bugs? I’ve not noticed any. The feature lag is real, still no canvas.
For me the window is laggy and takes a few seconds to resize or move. It's also not reliable when prompting sometimes it just sits there with no output and I have to quit and restart. I've since uninstalled the desktop app and I'm happier with the "Add to Dock" web version.
Also search is unavailable, regarding missing features.
