When did 3.7 come out? I might have had the same experience. I think I have been using 3.5 with success, but I cannot remember exactly. I may have not used 3.7 for coding (as I had a couple of months break).
I will have to check, but apparently I have been using 3.5 with success, then. I will give 3.7 a try later, I hope it is really not that much worse, or is it? :(
This was 3.7. I did give Gemini a shot for a bit but it couldn’t do it either and the output didn’t look quite as nice. Also, I paid for a year of Claude so kind of feel stuck using it now.

Was that on 3.7 Sonnet? I feel it's a lot worse than 3.5. If you can, try again but on Gemini 2.5.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has found 3.5 to be better than 3.7.

3.7 came out on 24th February. My notes from that release: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/24/claude-37-sonnet-and-c... and https://simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/25/llm-anthropic-014/

Maybe I will give 3.5 a shot next time though.
