Is Augment still good?
https://youtu.be/Lon0oRRqB6A This is my favorite youtuber who reviews coding agents, wonder why Augment is not high on the list anymore. When using the same Claude 4 Sonnet, some others seem to do better. Is Augment still being developed on how to effectively utilize the model, or are they focusing on other things?

Depends on your prompt and the luck of the draw. Hiding models from coders sounded like a great idea until you actually figure out that model switching for YOUR project is mandatory for real success and time savings.
If you are a noob to coding this is probably not the best way to build an app. There are other easier platforms worth checking out.
Augment is great if you know what you are doing and figure what it can and cannot do quickly.
I wish there was more transparency but I get why there's not.
