I write organic code in 2026 because I do not have a choice. Which, honestly, I am thankful for most of the time. My employer has no LLM mandates nor do they supply us an LLMs to use.

In my personal life, I cannot justify more than a $20 sub per month. I only use the Web Chat anyway. Shelling out $100-$200 a month for a sub in which I would get little to no ROI is a poor choice. Besides, I've never hit the limit on my $20 a month plan either.

The day I am forced to prompt LLMs all day, every day is the day I am cashing out of programming as a career. Though to be clear, I have no opposition towards anyone that uses LLMs, and think they are fantastic tools when used appropriately. (I love them as a StackOverflow replacement, and have learned a lot from going back and forth with LLMs).
