Developer sentiment seems to be awarding Anthropic on quality and efficiency with more usage (plus Claude Code CLI being earlier to market), although maybe OpenAI is in bed with enough non-coding enterprises that it has an edge there.

Anthropic has had a laser focus on Enterprise features whereas Chatgpt is much more consumer focus.

For me OpenAI doesn't have any stickiness/moat. I only use it because Sol 6.1 tokens are cheaper for similar quality for typical tasks. I also find it can be hit-or-miss more so than others when designing a system interactively.
