The mid-2024 rename from CodeWhisperer to Amazon Q Developer left outdated tutorials, broken integration docs, and confused users who couldn't find features they'd used before. Several reviewers describe hours spent figuring out what changed.
Outside of AWS SDK usage, Q Developer's completions are widely described as less impressive than Copilot or Cursor. Reviewers who work across cloud providers describe frequently switching to other tools for non-AWS work.
