I have to say that I think the problem of Claude Code taking too much initiative and building things you didn’t ask for seems basically solved with Opus 4.5. I remember the Sonnet 3.7 days when it was kinda funny at first that it was like an overeager intern but got deeply annoying when you couldn’t get it to stop.
My general feeling is that as the models get better, the traditional code editor will fall out of favor. At some point today’s languages will become like assembly - they’re there, but you just don’t need to look at them to get the result you want when you’re coding something (or when Claude is coding something on your behalf, I suppose).
Great comparison.
Thank you!!

What a great topic.
Thank you! I’m a user of both so it felt overdue
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely agree with your takeaway
