Best for
Daily-driver AI IDE: Composer, tab completion, Design Mode, plus local/cloud agents, CLI/SDK, and an iOS companion to supervise runs.
Skip if
You need a free always-on agent loop, strict local-only BYOK with no vendor models, or a lightweight VS Code plugin instead of a full fork.
Pros
Incredible in-house Composer model (~10× cheaper than Opus with similar results); blazing tab completion with million-token context; Design Mode for quick frontend edits; local and cloud agent orchestration with automations and loops; CLI and SDK; official iOS app to start and supervise cloud agents on the go.
Cons
Can be resource-heavy; monthly limits can be hit quickly when using external models via API; subagent orchestration is a bit less turnkey than dedicated orchestrators; iOS companion supervises agents — not a full mobile IDE.
