After spending some time, Opus 5.5 is better at communicating than Opus 5, but it most definitely writes awfully convoluted code.

I absolutely do understand why people don't really want to review Opus 5.5 code though. By default, a large percentage of it is not very reviewable; its almost painful to read

Previously I've said that Opus 5.5 is the first model better than 4.5 - I now think this was maybe too strong. The code is worse in readability than Opus 4.5

The problem is also that the convoluted code doesn't quite match that well with what is in your prompt. Opus will fill in details that you've underspecified, and the details aren't going to be what you expect them to be, even when parts of the prompt indicate what they should be.
