User says Opus 5 is strong, but overly self-correcting

The poster calls Opus 5 a technically good model, but says it second-guesses itself every few seconds and keeps finding something it thinks needs fixing.

They add that they may actually prefer 4.5 more, suggesting the newer model’s behavior feels less pleasant in practice despite being strong on paper.
