I've been trying it for a couple of months, I can't recommend it either tbh. It's frustrating as hell to work with: super inconsistent, very bad at following its own instructions, wasteful and generally unreliable.

The problem is, it's like a very, very junior programmer that knows the framework well, but won't use it consistently and doesn't learn from mistakes AT ALL. And has amnesia. Fine for some trivial things, but anything more complicated the hand-holding becomes so involved you are better off doing it yourself. That way you internalise some of the solutions as well, which is nice because then you can debug it later! Now I have a huge PR that even I myself don't really grasp as much as I would want.

But for me the nail in the coffin was the terrible customer service. ymmv.
