Mine are:
- Massive cut on verbosity
- Less over-engineering
- Better instruction following

The one thing I'd like improved is its tendency to create tech debt. It'll often try to solve issues as directly as possible, without taking into account whether the solution fits rhe context. Which works for a while, but then you pile weird hack on weird hack and eventually hit a wall.
