I'm trying a new IDE for development, from a company I highly respect.
The agent can't get work done. The model is Astra, but the agent, for various reasons, dies, can't deploy, can't get it done.
By contrast, when I switch from Claude Code to Codex, I didn't have any transition problems.
I'm halting my test of this new product. My takeaway is that a really clean user interface, with innovative, clever affordances, that has inferior agent performance is a worse product. I and others will prefer systems that get work done, even if the UI is ugly.
