I have used it on a fairly simple Kotlin Android application and was blown away. I have previously been using paid ChatGPT, Github Copilot, and Gemini. In my opinion, it's the complete access to your repo that really makes it powerful, whereas with the other plugins you kind of have to manually feed it the files in your workspace and keep them in sync.

I asked it to add Google Play subscription support to my application and it did, it required minimal tweaking.

I asked it to add a screen for requesting location permissions from the user and it did it perfectly. No adjustment.

I also asked it add a query parameter to my API (GoLang) which should result in a subtle change several layers deep and it had no problems with that.

None of this is rocket science and I think the key is that it's all been done and documented a million times on the Internet. At this point, Claude Code is at least as effective as junior developer.

Yes, I understand that this is a Faustian bargain.

FYI -- Windsurf, Cline, Cursor will all do this also, using Claude models if you set them up that way.
