Developer: Opus 5.5 coding feels like '15/10' compared to every other model

A Reddit developer says Opus 5.5 is in a completely different league for coding compared to models like Sol and Astra, and even the previous Opus 5.0.
His yardstick: expectations for AI coding used to be 10/10 and he'd typically get 8-9; with Opus 5.5 it regularly feels like '15/10' — the model proactively proposes solutions and suggestions he hadn't thought of. He now has no interest in using other models. Subjective impressions only, no concrete task details or benchmarks included.
