CodingAn editor rebuilt around AI, not an AI bolted onto an editor.
Where it shines
- Codebase-aware chat and multi-file edits feel native, not grafted
- VS Code fork: your extensions and keybindings survive the move
- Agent mode handles real tasks end to end with review checkpoints
Where it falls short
- Usage-based limits on the heaviest models surprise heavy users
- A moving target: features and pricing evolve quickly
Our verdict
The strongest argument that the editor itself should be AI-native. Try the free tier on your messiest repository; that test decides it.
