Is it still worth, I mean how's Sonnet vs Opus in terms of daily coding? I'm no asking about token usage, that's too abstract for me, but can it cover the whole codebase, and such.

how's Sonnet vs Opus in terms of daily coding?
For doing 'boring' day to day things in python I find them more or less the same. For doing non-trivial things in Rust, Opus is much better. Sonnet is much more prone to producing garbage that is just completely wrong in those cases. However I find Gemini 2.5 Pro better than both for harder programming problems.
Gemini is better than Claude in cursor, but in Claude coder I think Sonnet is better than Gemini (in cursor agent, can't use Gemini without the bridge or something else and I don't care about that case, may as well use aider or something similar).
I guess it depends? It seems a limited offering if you're planning to go all-in on agents, but on the other hand one of the most common complaints about Claude Code is that its costs are unpredictable and weird.
Your mileage may vary dramatically, but I don't think I would subscribe to Pro just for this. It's a "nice to have" on top of my existing Pro subscription whose services are the bulk of the value I'm paying for.
