Fable is not a tool for the average user. It’s a professional tool for highly complex work.

I would compare it to a extremely high end $15k PC, or an expensive pro-grade video camera, or a freight train, or a …

I would say at least 95% of the global population will not encounter a situation once in their life where it would be actually useful/warranted.

I wish Fable were as good as you make it sound. A plan created by Fable is good, but in my case, it always contain issues caught only when it's reviewed again (whether by itself, Opus, Sol etc.). That's (almost) not different from plans created by Sol, GLM 5.3 etc. The one thing where it's genuinely better is the front-end, but then again it's far from perfect, it just needs less iterations.

I hate to be brusque but this is cope. GPT 5.6 Sol is just as good and cheaper
