how's Sonnet vs Opus in terms of daily coding?

For doing 'boring' day to day things in python I find them more or less the same. For doing non-trivial things in Rust, Opus is much better. Sonnet is much more prone to producing garbage that is just completely wrong in those cases. However I find Gemini 2.5 Pro better than both for harder programming problems.

Gemini is better than Claude in cursor, but in Claude coder I think Sonnet is better than Gemini (in cursor agent, can't use Gemini without the bridge or something else and I don't care about that case, may as well use aider or something similar).
