If you're a developer and want some other best AI picks for coding. Here's some of choices of mine:

Cline
Tabnine
SuperMaven
Instead of OpenCode, I use Claude Code specifically. Gemini CLI helps
Aider for git stuffs.

Nice list! A few thoughts that came to mind after reading:

I really like how this article balances between "well-known AI tools"(like ElevenLabs, Cursor) and some "underrated ones" (e.g. Rube, OpenCode). Gives both reliability and discovery.
Kombai sounds especially useful for frontend devs — turning Figma or descriptive ideas straight into production UI is a huge time saver.
The “general AI agent” angle (Manus) is exciting — having one tool that can plan, execute, and loop on tasks could reduce a lot of context switching.
One thing to keep in mind is 'integration & workflow fit".A tool is only as good as how seamlessly it fits into what you already use (editor, CI/CD, etc.).
I’d love to hear more from folks who’ve actually adopted one of these for weeks — what’s been the biggest friction or surprising benefit?

Thanks for sharing this — I’m going to try a couple of the tools mentioned and see how they change my dev routine.

Thanks for sharing. I'd love to try out Kombai for frontend

Sure, give it a shot. Let me know how it turns out. I've tested some frontend stuff with Figma MCP as well, which you can find here: Reddit: It's been nice knowing you frontend devs

But Kombai got me the best result, and this is not even close. Claude + Figma MCP didn't stand a chance; you can imagine how good the result turns out with Kombai. I'll most likely share some nice demos in the near future.
