I also made the switch to OpenAI, the $20 plan, I dunno about "so much better" but it's more or less the same, which is great!
The models and tools levelling out is great for users because the cost of switching is basically nil. I'm reading people ITT saying they signed up for a year - big mistake. A year is a decade right now.
I underscored using xhigh + fast mode when saying it’s so much better.
Now with Opus 4.7 of course the “burden” of adjusting reasoning effort has been taken away from you even at the API level.
In my experience people don’t change the thinking level at all.
What issues did you consider about sending your code base to OpenAI?
None mate. Code is cheap, it's not worth anything any more, especially not my little personal projects
