Best for	Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.	VS Code users who want agentic coding without changing IDEs.	Jingles, intros, demos, sketches, personal use.	Podcasters, course creators, anyone editing talking-head content.
Strengths	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	Free extension for VS Code Plan + Act modes Model-agnostic (Claude, GPT, local) Sees terminal output and iterates	Real songs with real lyrics v4 is very good Quick turnaround	Edit audio/video by deleting text Overdub (voice clone) for fixes Strong collaboration + remote recording
Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Can burn tokens fast if not watched Less polished than Cursor	Copyright gray zone Audio quality behind studio	Not a traditional NLE — some workflows awkward Overdub ethics require care
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.	S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.	S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
