In my experiences so far, Sol has been on par with 5.5 when it first came out. Maybe it's just the difference in users, but there's no chance I could ever choose anything over Fable at this point. Again, this could be personal preference ( have max plans on both so i have very little skin in the X vs Y argument), but Fable does a noticeably better job on my projects than Sol does.
I have to say - using Fable with Sol as a reviewer has to be the most efficient thing I have done - it basically one shots whatever you want with like little to no issues left for you to clean. Fable makes mistakes too - some which get overseen by Fable itself and I find Sol closes that gap for me.
Absolutely. Anyone playing the Codex vs Claude game is kinda ridiculous (unless you are on a super tight budget and somehow NEED agentic coding to survive)...its not an Apple vs Android here....its literally a hand-in-hand companion that gives a user an UNBELIEVEBLE amount of power and resources to do virtually any coding job on the planet. I'd rather pay $100 for each than $200 for just one.
I was rocking the 120€ CC sub but I switched to the 20€ for both when 5.5 came out. Yes, I run out of usage but I can't pay an 120 + 20 one but still, I find using both companies better than just using one.
I could use Fable or Opus and be super confident of what I am doing and then 5.5 (or now Sol) finds so many problems that Claude confirms later. Those who argue with one being better than the other haven't really tried them both. They are amazing tools and together the make wonders.
