Reviews
Pros
- Agentic approach allows for complex, multi-step tasks that other tools can't handle
- Deep codebase context awareness is a major advantage for large projects
- The integrated dev-to-deploy workflow is a huge time-saver for prototypes and small projects
- AI-powered code review is a powerful feature for enforcing team standards and improving code quality
- Visual input capabilities are innovative for generating web designs from images
Cons
- Can be slower and more resource-intensive than other tools due to deep context awareness
- The agent can get stuck in loops or make mistakes, requiring manual intervention
- Vendor lock-in is a potential issue with the integrated hosting and database
- Some users report high token consumption and opaque credit usage
- The platform is new, so it may have bugs and a less mature ecosystem than VS Code
Areas for Improvement
- Improve agent reliability and reduce the need for manual intervention
- Increase transparency and control over token consumption and credit usage
- Enhance performance and reduce latency when working on large projects
- Provide clearer documentation and support for debugging complex issues
- Add more tools for code portability to reduce vendor lock-in
