Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

The approval flow is brilliant — you see every action before it executes. More transparent than Cursor's agent mode. Great for complex multi-file refactors.

80/100 · ship

Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Uses more API tokens than alternatives because of the autonomous approach. Budget accordingly. But the quality of multi-step reasoning is impressive.

45/100 · skip

Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Cline represents the VS Code extension approach to AI coding — extend your existing IDE rather than replacing it. That strategy has legs for developers who don't want to switch editors.

The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.
