Strengths	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	Works in any terminal Auto-commits changes with meaningful messages Works with any model (Claude, GPT, local) Minimal learning curve	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Unlimited free tier for solo use Strong summaries + action items Works in Zoom, Meet, Teams
Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Terminal-only Less agentic than Claude Code Setup on Windows is fiddly	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Bot-joining model Team features gated
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
