User ditches Gemini Astra for Claude Opus: 5x more work done, results nail prompts on first try

A long-time AI user reports being stunned after switching from Gemini Astra to Claude Opus on identical Plus plans: he gets roughly 5x more work done, and results are so much closer to intent that many changes land on the first or second prompt without iterative steering. He criticizes Astra's usage limits and what he perceived as the model deliberately underperforming to burn quota, and says this is the first time he has no doubt between ChatGPT and Claude — though he worries the model may get nerfed or have usage tightened.
