What's special about Claude Code? Isn't Opus the real magic?

Surely there's nothing here of value compared to the weights except for UX and orchestration?

Couldn't this have just been decompiled anyhow?

I think pi has stolen the top honors, but people consider the Claude code harness very good (at least, better than Cursor)
Pi is the best choice for experts and power users, which is not most people.

Claude Code is still the dominant (I didn't say best) agentic harness by a wide margin I think.

Pi really is amazing. It's as much or as little as you need it to be.

Not having to deal with Boris Cherny's UX choices for CC is the cherry on top.
