Why is the go-to always "you must not have used it" in lieu of the much more likely experience of having already seen and rejected first-hand the slop that it churns out? Synthetic benchmarks can rise all they want; Opus 4.5 is still completely useless at all but the most trivial F# code and, in more mainstream affairs, continues to choke even on basic ASP.NET Core configuration.

About a year ago they sucked at writing elixir code.

Now I use them to write nearly 100% of my elixir code.

My point isn’t a static “you haven’t tried them”. My point is, “try them every 2-3 months and watch the improvements, otherwise your info is outdated”
