What makes Claude Code so damn good

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. I was using Sonnet 4 with GitHub Copilot. Recently a week ago switched to Claude Code. I find GitHub Copilot solves problem and bugs way better than Claude Code. For some reason, Claude Code seems very lazy. Has anyone experience something similar?

I use ChatGPT, and I have used Claude several times. I’ve not found Claude to be better. I’ve come to the conclusion that all these posts asking why Claude is so good at coding, are all part of some marketing approach. I think it’s tied to how Claude prefers to hook into repos, I think maybe it’s tied to a business strategy of acquiring a mega code dataset. So they are especially motivated to push this narrative vs say OpenAI or other players.

(I don’t use any clients that answer coding questions by using the context of my repos).

If you aren’t using a client that automatically uses the context of your repos then you don’t understand why people like Claude. You need to use the Claude Code CLI in order to really get the best results.

I’m not in the market for a solution where I need to trust some company with my IP. I understand that Claude also wants to serve my use case, so I take these headlines at face value as also applying to me, since they don’t qualify themselves with ‘Claude Code CLI’.
