Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
