Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
