Ask HN: Claude file creation/edit feature leading to worse coding performance?

Ever since Anthropic released feature for Claude to create files, https://www.anthropic.com/news/create-files, all my code changes are now generated as files.

This is leading to soooo many issues:

- Numerous file creation/edit failures is wasting tokens and context:

``` Failed to create SidePanel

Strategized file update method using str_replace.

Failed to edit SidePanel ```

- The generated files are laggy to load compared to the previous generated code snippets.

- Overall worse experience

Anyone else experiencing this? I have just disabled the file generation feature
