I've only personally utilized it for code _review_ and always ignored the suggested result code instead to understand the source of the issue and try to arrive at a resolution I find satisfactory for my mental model of the issue and solutions I'd prefer.

My take is that the main difference is the approach to problems the coding agents have. They optimize towards presuming a fully working invocation environment, yet checking everything anyway, and then rolling back any changes and re-testing that such changes worked. Which is great for normal types of software but incredibly tedious for anything aimed at less than a fully hands free automated environment.

In other words, AI is very awesome at scope creep of assigned problems and targeting the validation prompts baked into the review system.
