Why? If it's good enough, it's good enough. Though I read the code that gets vibed so maybe my use-case is different.
It's driven a lot by the harness too. If you're using claude code, you're actively being pushed towards newer models, even though older ones work perfectly fine for your use cases
Yeah wouldn't touch ClaudeCode when there are so many better harnesses that are free and portable. Seems like a waste of time to learn a proprietary tool when the FOSS ones are better.
