Okay product, not amazing
Works okay, not life-changing. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. The ROI was clear within the first week of using it. The learning curve was steeper than expected.

Good value, works well
Really solid tool overall. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive.
