Commonly Cited Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Open-source codebase remains freely available
Limitations
- No real-time inline autocomplete like GitHub Copilot, which developers accustomed to that workflow miss
- Stability bugs and an awkward inline chat UX; core coding edits described as mediocre even with state-of-the-art models
