I've been using both ChatGPT and Claude daily for months, and noticed many of my peers switching to Claude as their workhorse LLM. As a product engineer, I wanted to understand why.
My take: ChatGPT's advanced features (persistent memory, infinite customization) actually create UX friction for most users. Claude's opinionated defaults and consistent personality just work better out of the box.
This mirrors classic product lessons: the iPhone won not because it had more features than Android, but because it required less configuration. Feelings beat features in consumer tech.
Curious if others are seeing similar adoption patterns? And for those who prefer ChatGPT, what keeps you?
