they don't care about their reputation with devs, they care about their reputation with people that can write them big fat checks

At my company, devs were the ones pushing for the Claude subscription. Left to management, we would have only had GitHub Copilot – we already have an existing relationship with them and the tool is good enough.

If Anthropic is intent on losing the goodwill of the devs, they might not be happy with the consequences. Their product is quite commoditized at this point – the latest GPT, Gemini or GLM is just as good for most enterprise tasks.

Exactly the same for me, and I'm now ... "worried" isn't quite right, but you know what I mean, that they will back out. But to what? We had copilot before which was cheaper, and worked reasonably well with the A\ models, but I'm not even sure those will be there (Opus is no longer on my cheapest paid Copilot sub at home), and I've no doubt OpenAI will jack up their prices soon enough and/or do the "exclusivity" thing so they can only be accessed by their own clients.
