Claude is already way superior in coding than Open AI atm. So coders are mostly using Claude.
With this change even non-coders will jump ship. Not sure why OpenAI is doing this now. They should improve their models now to match the competition.

The models may switch occasionally in terms of who the class leader is in certain disciplines, but at the top level either provider is enough for professional coders.
Saying that either is only suitable for non-coders sounds gatekeepery and very out of touch.
I agree with you to some extent when you say the models may switch occasionally…
You’re in fact making my point right. And, in order for this switch to happen in favor of OpenAI, they have to improve theirs, especially when it comes to UI design. I find Opus 5.5 to be better in this discipline.
Currently, the models as-is, I spend way more time (iterating) doing the same coding tasks with Sol/Astra than with Opus.
Lastly, I read the same story from 100s of other developers on X so I can say it’s just not my experience. OpenAI for sure may be good at other tasks but for coding tasks, I see most of my connections using Opus 5.5.
