Claude Cowork vs Code: Best Fit for Non-Engineers?

Why would I ever use Claude Cowork over Code? (Genuine question, pls share answers!) 🙏

Phrased differently: As a non-engineer doing mostly operational and business tasks, should I be using Cowork over Code? Feels like no but open to hearing perspectives.

My understanding: The core difference is in marketing. Cowork is basically Code for less technical users. Code does everything Cowork does, is generally more powerful & uses less tokens but the interface is for engineers.

I've personally been using Code because:

  • I'm no engineer but fairly technical & comfortable with terminal
  • Actually building projects
  • Working with an engineer daily

...but if I'm doing mostly operational work unclear if I'm missing out on core features & simplicity when not using Cowork.

Open to hearing thoughts!! Thanks!!
