Reviewer scorecard
“This is my daily driver. The codebase awareness is unreal — it understands project structure, conventions, and dependencies without being told. Multi-file refactors just work.”
“Rate limits are the only downside. When it's running smoothly, it's the best coding assistant available. When you hit limits, you're stuck waiting. Plan for that.”
“The terminal-first approach was the right call. Developers live in their terminal. This isn't an IDE plugin — it's an AI-native development environment.”
“Vendor lock-in concerns. Hard to migrate once you're committed.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
