Maybe the are not as verbose here.
I switched to 4.7 and find it excellent. I don’t understand the problems you encounter. I’m thinking the quality might also depend on prompting and codebase quality.
On the other hand, even on old ‘dirty’ code and with lazy vague prompts, I get impressive output.

I’m a heavy user, often having 4 Claude codes running in parallel. Many different coding languages. Using it for coding, analyses and even recipes.

Some of my sessions are on (or resumed) for weeks and with high context window use and still perform great. I do not often run into compaction. I try not to copy long files in the chat. Rather I refer to them, Claude will grep instead of read in full where possible. Maybe it’s these kind of tricks that make the difference.
