Claude is by far the most popular and best assistant currently available for a developer.


Okay, and Windows is by far the most popular desktop operating system.

Discussions are pointless when the parties are talking past each other.


Yeah, but there are dozens of AI coding assistants to choose from, and the cost to switch is very low, unlike switching operating systems.

I've tried them all and I keep coming back to Claude Code because it's just so much more capable and useful than the others.


Yes, and windows is pretty good for most people. Don’t be ridiculous.


Popular meaning lots of people like it or that it is relatively widespread? Polio used to be popular in the latter way.


I like windows, it’s fine. I like MacOS better. I like Linux. None of them are garbage or unusable.


have you used Windows 11?

file explorer takes 5 seconds to open


I have. I use it mostly for gaming, and prefer MacOS after 15+ years on Linux. I have not noticed any delays opening file explorer. It opens instantaneously for me. In fact, I feel like Windows 11 on my main gaming system to be very snappy.


No it doesn’t, don’t be hyperbolic.


might be only among most popular. https://skills.sh/ is some data point.


Is it better than OpenCode?
