> Anthropic will let you use their API with any coding tools you want
No, in 2026, even with their API plan the create key is disabled for most orgs, you basically have to ask your admin to give you a key to use something other than Claude Code. You can imagine how that would be a problem.

Have talked to engineers in atleast 5 more companies and they have the same issue, apparently its part of the deal Anthropic is giving to companies, and they are happily taking it. I have never seen companies so complaint to a external vendor.
