A comes out ahead on evidence volume and recent approval: 42 over the last 90 days versus 33 for B. A gets more praise than complaints on speed (19 to 7) and code quality (15 to 8), but reliability (16 positive, 57 negative), UX (11, 29), and usage limits (18, 31) are clear drags. B has higher overall approval, 60 versus 45, on only 53 opinions, and no comment states a direct A versus B preference. B is the better pick for JetBrains users who want low cost and predictable behavior; A is better for developers who want the larger evidence base and can accept quota and reliability risk.
