I guess I joined Claude late, but its been working pretty decent for me. I've been using Claude Code with Zed now that it's a native feature. Honestly, if you're building coding APIs for your LLM and you aren't working with the Zed folks to get your model natively in that editor, you're messing up big in my eyes, its just done so well.
My biggest gripe with Grok is they're not really integrated in all the great tooling I use. I know I can use an API key with Zed, but come on, you want to compete with something like Claude Code? You need to integrate with the tools devs actually use. If they want to rush on anything, get it on more tools.
I complained to them about the missing CLI. That was probably the last straw that made me decide to stop paying for it. They could deliver a CLI with calls included in SuperGrok, and a lot of people would stop using Gemini CLI and Qwen Code.
