It depends on the task, and prompting feels different.

I've found that sonnet is possibly better at starting things from scratch and frontend code, while Gemini has been able to one-shot difficult problems and fix bugs that sonnet has struggled with.

Switching between them is a frequent occurrence for me.

It might be relevant that I've completely stopped using Cursor in favor of other tools/agents.

Can you share what you use these days? I switched from cursor to windsurf but also want to play more with Trae and Cline/RooCode

If I were to recommend one to someone today, I might pick RooCode. I'd suggest checking out boomerang mode and RooFlow on GitHub.

Here are some others that I've tried and could recommend, in no particular order:

- https://github.com/ai-christianson/RA.Aid

- https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code

- https://github.com/block/goose

- https://github.com/hotovo/aider-desk

I've also created a few "agents" to do specific tasks using Probe[0] as an MCP server, although I'm sure you could create a full-fledged agent with it if you wanted to.
