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.
