I only used Astra while coding a bit so I can't comment on anything else but I have been really disappointed by it.

It seems to overengineer really bad and it is also very slow due to it "thinking" too much I feel like.

One example is that I asked it to implement a new functionality inside an existing App of mine and if I had written it myself it would have been like a ~50 line diff. Astra took like 10 minutes to write ~400 lines, most of them useless and also in pretty bad style, barely readable code.

Maybe I am bad with prompting but I didn't have these issues before, not even with 5.6 Sol on max reasoning.
