I've played around with Claude quite a bit, but mostly with creative writing, at which I think it is stronger than any other LLMs that I've tried, including GPT, Claude+ (which as far as I can tell has not been rebranded as Claude 2), GPT 3.5, Bard, and Bing.
I also much prefer to use Claude for explanations (I haven't experimented much with Claude+, but limited experiments have shown it to be even better) over the GPT's and other LLMs. It gives much more thorough and natural-sounding explanations than the competition, without extra prompting.
That said, the Claude variants don't seem to be as good at logic-puzzly sort of stuff that most people love to test LLMs with. So if you're in to that, you're probably better off with GPT4.
I also haven't tested it much with programming.. but I've been very disappointed with every LLM as far as my limited testing in that realm has gone.
Claude deserves to get more attention, and I eagerly await Claude 3.
