Reviewer scorecard

Best tool for complex technical diagrams — AWS architecture, ERDs, sequence diagrams. Data linking feature is powerful.

The open-source canvas library is excellent for building custom drawing tools. The AI sketch-to-code is a nice bonus but the core library is the real value.

Skeptic

Enterprise pricing is steep but for regulated industries that need Visio-level diagramming with cloud collab, it works.

Functional but not beautiful. Miro and Whimsical produce better-looking output with less effort.

Drawing a rough wireframe and getting working React code is magical. It is not pixel-perfect but it gets the structure right. Perfect for rapid prototyping sessions with clients.

Sketch-to-code is the natural interface for design. No more translating mental models through Figma to code. Draw it, ship it. This is where UI development is heading.
