Reviewer scorecard
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“Fastest editor I've ever used. Native performance, real-time collab, and the AI integration is well-designed.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
“Fast but the extension ecosystem is small compared to VS Code. You'll miss plugins you depend on.”
“Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.”
“The next-gen editor built for AI and collaboration. Rust performance advantage over Electron is real.”
