Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
