JetBrains Junie

“Every sentence feels like a bland attempt at a punch lines rather than communicating something.”

“I got Junie CLI on my M4 Mac but did NOT get the local model installed”

“If they manage to bring that down further - this could be a huge turning point”

“Used Junie with a few different LLM providers and seemed to work OK”

“Junie is mediocre at best, and their AI plan's quota runs out in 3 days.”

“No idea why they thought they can compete with frontier AI labs on that, it's entirely waste of money”

“I use it daily, but I'm also the AI consumer that is looking for something like a hammer and a saw”

“Their coding agent "Junie" is actually really good. The problem is they force you through only a few curated models.”

“it seemed fine, but not compelling enough to even spend the free usage I get”

“I enjoyed it a lot early on. In particular it didn’t have all the confusing and anxiety inducing options that other agents have to use more expensive or less expensive models”

“Junie was what made the fellow developer I respect most in the world actually start taking notice of LLMs as something useful”

“Using something else (like Junie) I can swap and try models from multiple vendors.”

“Being able to work when I want when I have time has some value.”

“I couldn't find how to change the mode without it trying to use Junie, or claude etc.”

“Sounds great, but I came here to complain about the installation script”

“Junie is told to use Gemini Flash and works fine for what I ask it to do.”

“Junie is told to use Gemini Flash and works fine for what I”

“It's cheap, very fast and most importantly actually listens to you.”

“I used Junie when it first came out and it was okay but unreliable.”

“I get quite good consistent results for pretty cheap with this combo.”

“having everything just work in a nice IDE (and llm to actually understand your symbol table) is like magic.”

“comes with their Junie coding agent which includes some free tokens to cover my coding needs”

“use their Junie coding agent which is included with subscription”

“I feel like I am really in control of CSS in a way I haven't been before”

“It understands symbol table and can connect to Salesforce via MCP server for various things”

“it suggested, "why not write a browser extension?" and I'm like "is that hard?"”

“With Junie I had something up and running in 20 minutes that I understood”

“For real coding I use Junie because I'm a Jetbrains enthusiast”

“Result, fairly clean code, very attractive and responsive UI, all requirements met.”

“I think I am writing better code if not writing it faster.”

“came to understand the situation 100% and wrote a few lines of code by hand that did the right thing”

“it did best... though, it fumbled the bag with details, performance, and overabstractioning”

“it banged out something in just a few minutes that basically worked after the second prompt”

“I could ask for it to do things and usually get good results quickly.”

“it doesn't seem to be listening to you or is going in circles”

“I use Junie because it is integrated with my favorite IDE”

“I really enjoy Junie, I find it working better out of the box than Claude code.”

“On the other hand it is sometimes "lights on and nobody home"”

“Styled "the same" means the line around the search box looks the same as the lines around the numbers in the pager, and Junie got that immediately.”

“i've mixed result with AI tool like Github copilot and Jetbrains Junie”
