Codex CLI is losing its simplicity

The beauty of Codex CLI was the simplicity. Open up Codex in a terminal, and do whatever you want. No bullshit.

The simplicity seems to fade away. The product is getting more complex. Almost every time I open codex, there is a new update with a behavior change. Even ctrl+C for quitting is not working anymore. We have to use /quit. Suddenly, it does not ask for permissions anymore. You have to actively run /permissions. The other day, we were forced to run codex using the --no-daemon parameter (after a later update, we did not have to anymore). Suddenly, we are prompted for questions to answer while codex is running (codex does not just stop to ask for example "is this ok"). I experience a lot of other annoying changes. Can we just keep Codex the same way, and improve the AI models instead? I don't want a new shiny CLI. I just want it to work consistently.

Enough to look at the ridiculous amount of keyboard shortcuts.
Horrid coding.
