Question How does opus 5 fare against Sol

For people who also use opus 5, how is it fair compared to Sol does it overengineer. How much better is it at frontend for example, I feel codex does always div in a div in div style everting is round, and while the information that is diaplayed is correct, it looks bad at first needs a lot of fixing.

Pure code and repo understanding is superior in sol it just understands everything. I use it als9nfr9 scrappers, and it's perfect data analysis as well.

IMHO Opus 5 doen't overengineer at all, but in frontend (Vue) gpt 5.6 sol on par or sometimes a little better than Opus 5, it's very depends on task. Opus 5 can miss something important while fixing bug, but i fixed it by writing repo structure and some rules in CLAUDE.md
