Reviewer scorecard
“Universal code search across repos is a superpower for large orgs. Cody AI assistant with full codebase context is excellent.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“If you have more than 10 repos, Sourcegraph pays for itself in developer time saved on code navigation.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“AI-powered code understanding at scale is the foundation for the next generation of developer tools.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
