About this Report

The rapid rise of AI-assisted coding tools marks a pivotal moment in software development. What began as experimental add-ons has quickly evolved into a crowded market of products, each claiming to boost productivity and transform workflows. Yet with so many options and so much noise, it can be difficult to know which tools are truly delivering value. By examining adoption, satisfaction, and trust-related attributes such as accuracy, support, and security, this report provides a data-driven benchmark of which AI coding tools developers are embracing and which they rate most highly.
The analysis reveals where usage aligns with satisfaction, where trust is earned through consistent delivery, and where gaps remain between expectations and reality. For engineering leaders making decisions about which tools to integrate and scale across their teams, the insights in this report help distinguish the coding tools that enable productivity from those that are still struggling to meet developer needs.
