Does the job
Pretty happy overall. Built-in emulators and previews just works and no local setup required to start coding. Requires stable internet connection can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.
Skeptical, then convinced
I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on cloud-based development workspaces, and templates for many popular frameworks caught me off guard. Requires stable internet connection is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.
Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and integrated Android and web emulators. VS Code-based editor in the browser fits neatly into how we already work, and built-in emulators and previews removed a step we used to do by hand. Requires stable internet connection, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.

Compared a few options
Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: gemini AI code assistance and chat and gemini-powered AI assistance built in. Where it lags: still evolving with feature gaps versus mature IDEs. On balance the feature set — especially vS Code-based editor in the browser — justifies the 4 stars for our use case.
