A fair point I suppose. I'm not entirely inexperienced with it, but it does sound like you have more experience with it than I do.

Maybe i'm being sensitive but that is perhaps not the way I would have worded that as it reads a bit like an insult. Food for thought.
To your point that this isn't trivial or universal, there's a sharp gradient that you wouldn't notice if you're just opining on it as opposed to coding against it -- ex. I've spent every waking minute since mid-December on MCP-like territory, and it still bugs me out how worse every model is than Claude at it. It sounds like you have similar experience, though, perhaps not as satisfied with Claude as I am.
