is composer 2.5 that good at that pricepoint? Seems like the gemini flash playbook of trying to get most bang for the buck.

It's my daily driver, it's fast affordable and with a bit of guidance gets the job done.

I only reach for Claud when i need to plan something big or want to have a sparring partner to fire of some ideas.

I think what a lot of people don't realize is that you don't need a fronteer model for 80% of coding tasks. Composer 2.5 is often more than good enough, less token hungry and way faster

I have been doing the same for quite a while now. Composer 2.5 is incredible when you’re working in the loop.

		When you normalise for time and money, Composer 2.5 is way, way, way, way better than anything else out there. Yes it requires more babysitting, but that's a good thing.

It's surprising usable and cheap enough to run in 'fast' mode when vibing something quick. For simple code I find I prefer the code it writes over GLM or Gemini family.
