MOONSHOT JUST SHIPPED A FREE, OPEN SOURCE CLONE OF CLAUDE CODE WITH FEATURES CLAUDE CODE DOESN'T HAVE. Screen recording as direct input. Isolated subagents by default. Conversational MCP setup. A single binary that starts in milliseconds. So here's the actual question. If the open alternative is free, arguably has a better first-run experience, and the model behind it costs a fraction of the closed flagships, what is actually keeping people on the paid, closed tool at this point? Habit, trust in the lab, or something about Claude Code specifically that these feature lists don't capture? Genuinely curious whether anyone has switched entirely and what made them stay or go back.
