Opus in my experience is equally unpleasant "character"-wise, but at least it actually gets stuff done more often, so it's at least slightly more earned at that. It's still a neurotic cargo-culting dogmatic idiot, but one that at least sometimes does produce deliverables instead of only bottom-tier HN-esque opinions.

Hmm. I think I might just fundamentally disagree with Anthropic about the idea of what a "tool" should be.

Fable largely fixed the annoying chatterness so sucks that it's gone now.
