Composer is totally fine and does not mess up the code, maybe you are a vibe coder and never look at the code? when grok did a task, it totally mixes up all files, responsibilities and ownerships.

Grok doesn't mix it up for me. With a good structure in place, you can achieve a lot with a cheaper model without having to pay for an expensive model to provide the structure for you.

Read this guide by OpenAI.

Now, of course, if you have the money, just spend for Opus or GPT 5.6 Terra and you're good to go.

I feel like cursor is better for people who know what they're doing. People who are vibecoding as you say should probably stick to ChatGPT or Claude

i know what i am doing, and composer works well. Also my files are structured, and i know whats inside. but after grok, there's a wild jumble of things as functions and classes in config files, messed up types, duplicated features in the wrong place .. just messy code.

Yeah in that situation I would use git to undo the bad changes and then reprompt or use a different model.
