Microsoft's products are also extremely successful

they're also total garbage

but they have the advantage of already being a big company. Anthropic is new and there's no reason for people to use it

		The tool is absolutely fantastic coding assistant. That's why I use it. The amount of non-critical bugs all over the place is at least a magnitude larger than of any software I was using daily ever. Plenty of built in /commands don't work. Sometimes it accepts keystrokes with 1 second delays. It often scrolls hundreds of lines in console after each key stroke Every now and then it crashes completely and is unrecoverable (I once have up and installed a fresh wls) When you ask it question in plan mode it is somewhat of an art to find the answer because after answering the question it will dump the whole current plan (free screens of text) And just in general the technical feeling of the TUI is that of a vibe coded project that got too big to control.

		what about if management gives them a reason? You can think of which those can be.

Claude is by far the most popular and best assistant currently available for a developer.

Okay, and Windows is by far the most popular desktop operating system.

Discussions are pointless when the parties are talking past each other.

Popular meaning lots of people like it or that it is relatively widespread? Polio used to be popular in the latter way.

I like windows, it’s fine. I like MacOS better. I like Linux. None of them are garbage or unusable.
