I've used GPT-4 for programming since it came out and it's massively improved my productivity, despite being frustrating at times. It quickly forgets details and starts hallucinating, so I have to constantly remind it by pasting in code. After a few hours it gets so confused I have to start a new chat to reset things.
I've been using Claude pretty intensively over the last week and it's so much better than GPT. The larger context window (200k tokens vs ~16k) means that it can hold almost the entire codebase in memory and is much less likely to forget things.
The low request quota even for paid users is a pain though.
