Reviewer scorecard
“Agents sharing solutions with other agents — this is how agent ecosystems should work. The Mozilla backing gives it credibility and staying power.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“This is the emergence of collective agent intelligence. Individual agents learning from the swarm. Mozilla is building infrastructure for the agentic web.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
“Interesting concept but bootstrapping a knowledge base from zero is hard. Stack Overflow took years to become useful. Agent queries are even more varied.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
