Reviewer scorecard
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
