I see that the handful of Ellipsis "buddies" here are upvoting your post. :)

CodeRabbit employees wouldn't usually be commenting here to spoil your "moment," but this reply is entirely wrong on so many levels. The fact is that CR is much further along the traction (several hundred paying customers and thousands of GitHub app installs) and product quality. Most of the CR clones are just copying the CR UX (and it's OSS prompts) at this point, including Ellipsis. The chat feature at CR is also pretty advanced - it even comes with a sandbox environment to execute AI-generated shell commands that help it deep dive into the codebase.

Again, I am sorry that we had to push back on this reply; we usually don't respond to competitors - but this statement was plain wrong, so we had to flag it.

When people ask us about any other AI tool, our standard reply is - "Please try both tools to see the difference and choose the one you like."

We will appreciate the same courtesy from our competitors.

Cheers!

You're right; this was my mistake
hi @gillh, sincere apology - that wasn't my intent. No excuse.

@timpetri, i recommend you try both products and choose the one you like
