Reviewer scorecard
“Self-hosted option with complete CI/CD and security scanning. The single-platform approach reduces tool sprawl.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“If you need self-hosted git with built-in CI/CD, GitLab is the clear choice. The all-in-one approach saves integration headaches.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“GitHub's ecosystem and Actions marketplace have won the mindshare battle. GitLab is strong for enterprise self-hosted.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
