Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
