Feel pretty much the same as the article, but I love Anthropic's models so much that i've stuck with CC for an absurdly long time, and use Pi for literally anything else. Which i think has benefits as well. Can kinda track how well sessions perform and decide on which tools to enable/disable pretty quickly.
It really feels like the usage within CC just goes forever sometimes, and a ton of the stuff i found absurdly annoying are easily disabled tools.
