Mythos - 4.7 Smokescreen?

I don't know if I'm just taking crazy pills or if 4.7 feels basically useless for coding. The darn thing is so slow now and just keeps spinning in wheels. I was having no major issues with 4.6 prior to the 4.7 release. 4.7 is so unpleasant that frankly I'm starting to wonder if Anthropic put out all of that hype for Mythos and pumped it up so egregiously because they knew that 4.7 was a flaming hot mess and wanted to try and distract media away from 4.7 with a big flashy story... Anyone else getting that feeling?
