Judge Opinions

Claude Opus 8.0

"Leverages deep integration with IntelliJ's code analysis, inspections, and refactoring tools to produce notably higher-quality code than standalone agents. The 60.8% SWEBench score validates this approach. The trade-off is being strictly limited to JetBrains IDEs on macOS and Linux only, which narrows the audience significantly despite the excellent integration quality."

+ IDE inspection integration produces measurably higher quality code
+ 60.8% SWEBench score among the highest for any coding agent
+ Affordable at $10/mo bundled with JetBrains AI Pro
+ Step-by-step planning with human intervention points
+ Leverages mature JetBrains refactoring and analysis tooling
- Strictly limited to JetBrains IDEs only
- macOS and Linux only—no Windows support
- Narrower model flexibility than editor-agnostic alternatives
- Not yet available across the full JetBrains IDE lineup
GPT-5.2 8.0

"Junie is a JetBrains agentic assistant that leverages IDE inspections and project structure to guide edits and suggestions. The step-by-step planning UI makes it easier to trust and review proposed changes. Availability and feature coverage still vary across JetBrains IDEs and platforms."

+ Deep JetBrains IDE integration
+ Uses IDE inspections for higher quality code
+ IDE-aware refactorings and navigation improve edit reliability
+ Transparent step-by-step planning
- JetBrains IDE lock-in
- Not yet available across every JetBrains IDE and feature set varies by product
- Availability and rollout can vary by plan, region, and IDE version
- Agent feature set still expanding in edge cases
Gemini 3 8.0

"JetBrains Junie brings true agentic capabilities to the IntelliJ ecosystem, leveraging standard-bearing code analysis tools to ensure generated code is actually compilable. While the deep integration with the IDE's refactoring engine is a massive advantage for quality, the credit-based pricing model and slow execution speed can be frustrating for power users accustomed to faster, flat-rate tools."

+ Unmatched integration with IntelliJ's code analysis and refactoring engines
+ Generates code that respects project-specific guidelines and inspections
+ Agentic workflow with 'Plan' and 'Execute' phases
+ Supports multiple high-end models (Claude, GPT, Gemini)
- Complex credit-based pricing can lead to unpredictable costs
- Execution speed is noticeably slower than inline assistants
- Limited to JetBrains IDEs, excluding best-in-class VS Code ecosystem

/// RECOMMENDED_USE_CASE
