Reviewer scorecard
“Autocomplete for CLI commands is surprisingly useful. Reduces trips to man pages and --help flags.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“Simple tool that genuinely improves terminal productivity. The acquisition by Amazon expanded support.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Will likely be absorbed into broader Amazon Q developer tools. Standalone terminal autocomplete may not survive.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
