Preliminary
Editorial score out of 10. Not a benchmark.
What we tried
Tried the VS Code extension on a small function and an AWS SDK question. The AWS-specific answer was the useful part. Not a general agent bake-off.
Scores are preliminary editorial notes from a short hands-on pass. They are not benchmark results, not pass rates, and not for sale. A shared task suite is not published yet, so we do not print speed, cost, or success-rate figures.
Preliminary notes
- Setup7/10
- Editing6/10
- Agent work6/10
- Docs and control7/10
Good fit
- Code that calls AWS
- Teams that already have an AWS org and want a known vendor
Limits
- Less interesting if your project never touches AWS
- The agent is more restrained than Cline or Devin
