| Verdicts |
|---|
| Praised for | - Model freedom: one config change to switch provider or run locally (Composio, heyuan110)
- Low-cost access through the $10 Go plan (Thomas Wiegold; multiple HN users)
- Works reasonably well across many models out of the box (HN)
| - Widely treated by practitioners as a reference coding agent and daily driver (Simon Willison; HN comments)
- Deep configurability through CLAUDE.md, skills and hooks rewards investment (Composio 100+ hour comparison)
- Explains its own changes well enough to support review workflows (Every / Kieran Klaassen)
|
|---|
| Criticised for | - Fast release cadence brings regressions (AICoderScope)
- High memory/CPU use reported (GitHub Memory Megathread; HN)
- Repeated serious security advisories in 2026, including unauthenticated command execution
- Security track record judged weaker than Claude Code (heyuan110)
| - Frequent complaints about usage limits and token burn on subscription plans (HN, r/ClaudeCode)
- Long record of security advisories in the CLI (about 30 GHSA/CVE entries in 24 months) plus a March 2026 source-map leak
- Auto mode default relies on a classifier that has been bypassed in published research (Johann Rehberger via Simon Willison)
- Terminal UI performance complaints such as freezing and memory use (Douglas Mendes; HN)
