Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
