There is also the very lame auto win category that i happen to fall into...

I dont trust openai, or google. google has beyond proven that they aren't trustworthy well before the LLM coding tool era. I am legitimately not even giving them a chance.

Sadly I am assuming anthropic will at some point lose my trust, but for now they just feel like the obvious choice for me.

So obviously i am a terrible overall observer, but i am sure i am not alone in the auto win portion of devs choosing anthropic.

That was exactly why I had been a paying Anthropic customer as well – I trusted them more than I trusted OpenAI or Google. But I canceled my subscription this morning after the news that they've ditched their core safety promise [†], and they look likely to fold to the Pentagon's demands on autonomous weapons/surveillance as well.

I believe anthropic is the only one that lets you opt out of training based on your chats for the developer subscription plans? Is that right?

The sometimes hot garbage I get from the AI results for technical questions in the past year or so has me not even considering them from the start... I've tried github copilot (whatever the default engine is) and OpenAI and just found it annoying. Claude is the first one that I've felt was more productive than annoying and I just started using it.
