Developer Jarrod Watts highlights what makes Opus 5.5 feel great: it isn't afraid to delete code. It cleans up slop, removes pointless comments, and nukes crappy mock tests. Running it on vibecoded projects and watching it annihilate existing junk is a satisfying sign of improved code taste and refactoring initiative in coding models.
