Reviewer scorecard
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“In an era of AI agents that can call APIs directly, do we still need a GUI for API testing? The future might be AI testing APIs autonomously.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
