Yes, Claude speaks Claudish but at the end of the day I care about the Ruby, Python, JS it writes. It still does a good job at it even if maybe I prefer the way DeepSeek talks. I did not use other models in an agentic harness.

The code is fine, yes. But now that I am dabbling in spec-driven development (unsure whether I like it) I have to read a lot of prose and I simply cannot get myself to read a page of claudisms. It is that painful.

The odd phrases are one thing, what numbs my brain is how everything is evenly bombastic and lacks any sense of rhythm. Technical documents should not read like catchphrases strung together.
