“pretty much everyone I talk to/read from (anecdata) HATES the way claude writes”
No, only Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5. Claude opus 4.6 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 are the best Claude writers, especially for chat related uses. They’re what made Claude so popular.
Claude opus 4.8 is a good middle ground if you need higher resolution image viewing. I’ve downgraded from the 5.x’s to give my eyes a rest from the waterfall of words.
