In a recent project (launching soon), I had a quick play with ai Sidekick - for me, it currently feels like it gets it *just* wrong most of the time, not taking into account other theme item padding, wanting to create the request to amend an existing block as the need to create a new block etc. In the current case, I am just going back to add some text below a button - so all that's required is a simple line of code and the equivalent addition to the block schema.
For me, I'll stick to the CLI and coding offline before pushing theme changes up - at least I have my changes tracked in git, even if the Shopify git workflow isn't quite ideal.
