Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
