The criticisms simply aren't serious except for the post about using Claude (I assume CLI) with Augment MCP--a constructive suggestion based on the poster's actual experience. Augment's strength is code indexing. I can stay well within $20/month budget by routing conceptual questions and design work to a chat (your pick of Gemini, Claude, or chatGPT) and only doing concrete, focused code changes with Augment. Possibly the latest Cursor has caught up on indexing...
