I have not met a single person/company that uses Devin… does anyone here actually use it?

Unfortunately yes. It's awful, other than that they at least support both open-weight and proprietary models to route to. So I guess their model router is "fine", but the harness? As I said in a sibling thread on this page:

> Devin CLI is easily the worst-in-class coding harness I've ever been subjected to using, rife with bugs (up to and including dropping answers to the question tool), so I can't say I'm exactly inspired to try anything else the company produces.

I pay for it (mostly because they grandfathered me from the old prices)!

I used to use windsurf as my main editor until they changed their pricing model. Now i use it just to burn my weekly tokens on fable/astra if i remember to that on a task and that's it.

I only used their "DeepWiki" automatic docs, they are pretty decent at getting an overview of a large project and are relatively accurate, with diagrams and anything. Haven't tried out their coding agent stuff.

My company uses it. We have a bunch of seats in an enterprise plan and have been using it for 9 months or so.

It's a great product compared to Copilot. It is also the first AI tool I used heavily outside of creating random images or one off questions.

I'm now using all three, Devin, Claude, Codex. I'm finding Claude and Codex to be much better. One of my biggest gripes is that the web client and desktop client for Devin are two completely different harnesses, so the quality of responses varies greatly.

I use it, and have been happy with it for the most part. Like sibling, I use it for GPT-5.6-Sol and Opus work, and use their free models (GLM 5.2 for the past few months, trying SWE-2 now).
