Favorite feature of 5.5 models is that they toned down the Claudish

A user on Reddit's dev community expressed their satisfaction with the 5.5 models, specifically noting that the "Claudish" writing style has been toned down. They use Claude Code for their small business, generating .md files for summaries and marketing. While Opus 5.5 has been excellent, reviewing older .md files written by Opus 4.6 and 5 highlighted the "obnoxious" and "gross Claude-stink" of previous versions, making them appreciate the improvements in the latest model.
