Dev: I'd never pick Anthropic via API, yet I keep coming back to Claude Code

Engineer bclavie notes he can't think of a single task where he'd use Anthropic models via API over OpenAI and DeepSeek—yet he always ends up back in Claude Code. Anthropic has built something special in interaction design, pleasant though occasionally annoying. The takeaway: coding-tool moats lie in experience, not raw model quality.
