Pros
  • Excellent JetBrains + VS Code support
  • Tight GitHub PR integration
  • Now offers multiple model choices
  • Free tier for individuals
  • Genuine open-source core (Apache 2.0, ~47k GitHub stars) so the whole stack can be self-hosted and audited
  • AI backend is model-agnostic: switch between ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Qwen and local Ollama without rewriting flows
  • Bundles RAG knowledge base, MCP plugin manager and prompt templates inside the same admin console as the low-code builders
  • Code generator emits real Spring Boot + Vue 3 + TypeScript projects you can eject and maintain in a normal IDE
  • Strong Chinese-market coverage: Dameng/Kingbase DBs, WeChat mini-programs, HarmonyOS Next, DingTalk/WeCom SSO
  • Mature non-AI toolkit (BPMN workflow, online reports, dashboards, multi-tenant SaaS) reduces need for third-party add-ons
Cons
  • UX less integrated than Cursor
  • Multi-file edits are catching up but not yet leading
  • Documentation, admin UI and community forums are primarily Chinese; English coverage is partial and often machine-translated
  • Java + Vue stack and heavy Spring dependencies feel heavyweight next to newer TypeScript-only low-code tools
  • AI features are wired for Chinese providers by default; connecting to Azure OpenAI or Anthropic sometimes requires custom adapter work
  • Commercial/enterprise licensing terms and prices are opaque - you have to contact sales via QQ or hotline for a quote
  • 'One sentence generates a system' output still needs substantial manual cleanup for anything beyond CRUD prototypes
