Comparisons to Microsoft’s monopoly power are pretty lame when Anthropic’s hold on the market is so tenuous.

How many businesses are actually dependent on Claude? As in - Anthropic’s pricing or licensing changes can kill their business?

How many developers are “Claude developers” and can’t be effective with other tools?

This discussion is full of people saying they won’t use Claude anymore, and presumably some of them will actually do that. That’s good, there are alternatives.
