I tried Q Developer when it first came out, and it was not as effective as some of the other code generators on the market at the time. i tried it again recently and it blew me away. I used it to help on a project that our team was blocked on with some complex technical issues related to a variety of AWS services, and it talked through every stage of debugging, and was extremely concise and hnderatandable, and knowledgeable about the inner workings of services that i hadnt previously used.Read all insights and reviews for Amazon Q Developer

2. Gemini Code Assist

By Google

(252 Ratings)
my overall experience with Gemini has been positive so far, especially for tasks involving real-time info and integration with Google's vast ecosystem. Its handling capacity of multiple inputs is cool and the speed of retrieving data and processing it is exceptional. However, I noticed that it sometimes lacks the depth and nuance found in other models during the creation of complex creative and reasoning tasks. There is a whole lot of scope to improve its efficacy. Read all insights and reviews for Gemini Code Assist

I am using Claude Sonnet 4.5 to perform code reviews as well as a tool to perform hands-on analysis of running systems, which gives me a far better position to manage multiple devops teams. I also use Claude to set up demos and learn about new concepts, which provides me a far better learning experience working hands-on with a system.Read all insights and reviews for Claude

Replit is a great platform for developing, I been using it for a while now, since TypeScript appeared and honestly I love how convenient and accessible it makes coding, even the little features, it's just great on how it does things right, than the coding assistant comes and really makes the process of writing code to be more fun and enjoyable, you get suggestions about things you should and shouldn't do.Read all insights and reviews for Replit
