Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
