AFIT verdict

Developers, especially those operating heavily within the AWS ecosystem, should try Amazon Q Developer for its strong integration with IDEs, terminal CLI, and AWS resource management. The catch is that the perpetual Free Tier is capped at 50 agentic chat interactions and 1,000 lines of code transformation per month, and users must upgrade to the paid Pro tier to ensure their proprietary content is not used for model training.
