I have, dozens of times, and it's generally better than 3.7. Especially with more context it's less forgetful. o1-pro is absurdly expensive and slow, good luck using that with tools. Virtually all benchmarks, including less gamed ones such as Aider's, show the same. WebLM still has 3.7 ahead, with Sonnet always having been particularly strong at web development, but even on there 2.5 Pro is miles in front of any OpenAI model.
Gemini subscription? Surely if you're "using LLMs correctly" you'd have been using the APIs for everything anyway. Subscriptions are generally for non-techy consumers.
In any case, just straight up saying "it isn't good" is absurd, even if you personally prefer others.
