Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
