I rotate models frequently enough that I doubt my personal access patterns are so model specific that they would unfairly advantage one model over another; so ultimately I think all you're saying is that Claude might be easier to use without model-specific skilling than other models. Which might be true.
I certainly don't have as much time on Gemini 3 as I do on Claude 4.5, but I'd say my time with the Gemini family as a whole is comparable. Maybe further use of Gemini 3 will cause me to change my mind.
yeah, this generally vibes with my experience, they aren't that different
As I've gotten into the agentic stuff more lately, I suspect a sizeable part of the different user experiences comes down to the agents and tools. In this regard, Anthropic is probably in the lead. They certainly have become a thought leader in this area by sharing more of their experience and know hows in good posts and docs
