I don't get it. The title says "What makes Claude Code so damn good", which implies that they will show how Claude Code is better than other tools, or just better in general. But they go about repeating the Claude Code documentation using different wording.

Am I missing something here? Or is this just Anthropic shilling?

Nowhere in the title does it compare to other tools? Just that's it's damn good.

The phrase "so damn good" implies a benchmark, which itself is implied to be the average of comparable tools.

Without these premises, one could state that the 1996 Yugo was so damn good. I mean, it was better than a horse.

Sure, but the Yugo had the power of 45 of them, and didn't leave dung on the city streets. ))
