The glib epigrams and aphorisms it shoehorns in to all prose is by far the worst regression of any model I can recall in terms of simply generating simple, clear output. I cannot think of another model that's gotten worse at writing plainly while being explicitly instructed to do so. Infuriating.
I've switched mostly to Sol and if I have to use Opus, the first task once the code is written is to ask Sol to strip and re-write (from the code as ref) all documentation Opus wrote.
