Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
