> you sound like you have a lot of opinions about LLM performance for someone who says that doesn't use them

It's not reasonable to treat only opinions that you agree with as valid.

Some people don't use LLMs because they are familiar with them.

My point is that this person IS NOT familiar with them, while feeling confident enough to say that these tools didn't improve with time. I'm not saying that their opinions are invalid, just highlighting the lacking of experience with the current state of these AI coding agents.
