Unpopular opinion: OpenClaw and all its clones are almost useless tools for those who know what they're doing. It's kind of impressive for someone who has never used a CLI, Claude Code, Codex, etc. Nor used any workflow tool like 8n8 or make.

It seems to me that OpenClaw and all its clones are almost useless tools for those who know what they're doing. It's kind of impressive for someone who has never used a CLI, Claude Code, Codex, etc. Nor used any workflow tool like 8n8 or make. For these people, asking an AI to create a program or a new tool with a prompt must seem like magic. For those who already use it, it seems like something that simplified the old ones but made them much more chaotic and unsafe. The only good thing about it is that it made more "ordinary" people interested in these agentic tools. Sending messages via Telegram is much more user-friendly.
