I was quite annoyed with Claude earlier this year when I had to maintain duplicate files or rely on symlinks.

Seemed like a waste of time simply because Anthropic didn’t want to take the “L” and accept that AGENTS.md was the new standard.

IMO, this kind of product decision making is why so many products either suck, or they’re are good but not great … and users have zero loyalty.

I find it super annoying this building lock in instead of loyalty approach to product seems to be standard practice these days.
