> Who is still using Anthropic seriously...Subscriptions only get you frustrated

If you're using Claude in a pair-programming/"exoskeleton" sense, you'll probably never get close to maxing your subscription allotment unless you really lean on Fable.

The "you can't get anything done" comment confounds me, frankly.

That's a fair pushback, I'm sure there are ways to get value out of it if you lean less on it and have a slower more supervised workflow.

To share more on my comment, that was when contrasting it with the competition and their credit allowances.

If we go by your scenario, then you could get even more with just a $20 plan from some of the others.
