Die hard fans. I tried so many Claude models. Some are ok. Really. Surprisingly some versions of Sonnet are better than Opus. So the latest isn't always the greatest. Models are specialized sometimes (intentionally designed that way or not).
I think people just need to try a bunch to be honest. I think that we will get to a point (or are already there) where some models just resonate better with you and your communication (prompt) style.
But after using a bunch...I have to say that Gemini 2.5 Pro is consistently the best one I've used yet. It's pricey, but it just works.
I'm still looking for a good local model, but it's just going to be a while until anything local can match Gemini. It will eventually I think, but it'll take some time.
I probably won't be using Claude Code, but I'm glad it works for some folks.
