I use mostly Claude, the free version, Sonnet 4.6.
But yesterday it wasn't working, for whatever reason at a moment it wasn't working. So I tried ChatGPT.

Well, it started to ask me lot of questions about what I wanted to do. Lot of analysis about what/how/the reach/coverage/etc. of what to do.

After an hour or two, I went back to Claude and it was already working again. I sent the same original question there. It asked a couple of simple questions about how I prefered something and if I agreed to do something in some way, and started working.
It already delivered the result.

ChatGPT on the other side, offered to do something more advanced, that now I'm interested, so from yesterday it is still asking questions, about lot of details, some minor details, some edge cases, some other implementation details. It seems it will make something more professional, it is still discussing with me how to make it better. But we are still chatting. Like maybe easily 4 or 5 yours spent in studying what to do.

At this point you must be wondering what I'm doing.
I have a component that exports FlexGrids, it can be used with FlexGrids of all types. It exports to Excel files.
The issue: it uses a very old 2.1 BIFF format with *xls extension. It is too old and too limited.

So, I needed to replace that with something to write *.xlsx files.

Well, now ChatGPT is still asking if I want to save CellPicture's, and we were discussing how to place the pictures according to cells alignments of the text and pictures in the FlexGrids, things like that. All that of course won't do the Claude approach.
ChatGPT also offered to export as HTML and CSV. I accepted.

What I see is that they are two extremes: one doesn't ask almost anything, and goes and do it assuming lot os things, doing lot of decisions in his own. The other one asks a lot, and so far still didn't deliver any code.
So, which one is better? I don't know. I like to have solutions quickly, but I also want to do the things as well as I can. So, so far I'm inclined to use ChatGPT work (if it delivers at some point).

I guess the same thing happens with people. Perhaps I would prefer a balance. Ask me questions, but try to deduce some without asking.
