<p>The issue is 95% of users dont use the features that adobe is so much better at. I've moved from PS to Pixelmator and there are even more moving from PS to Canva. Doesnt matter to most users that PS generative fill is better.</p>

<p>I did exactly the same, for creating graphics / posters. Love Pixelmator... is PS better at some stuff? For sure, but it's not stuff I need. Thats adobes issue.</p>

<p>This kind of stuff is simply a result to certain companies having a userbase bigger than they maybe even want (especially when offering a free tier).<p>They can get away with not implementing even basic stuff, becauase their core feature is all 99% of the users even care about.</p>

<p>Sure, looks good. I often do templating.<p>However drizzle makes it very very straightfoward to handle DB migration / versioning, so I like it a lot for that.</p>

<p>I've had a really pleasant experience with Drizzle as an ORM. It feels straightforward compared to some of the incredibly bloated alternatives.</p>

<p>It depends what environment you're operating within.<p>I've used LLMs for code gen at work as well as for personal stuff.<p>At work primarily for quick and dirty internal UIs / tools / CLIs it's been fantastic, but we've not unleashed it on our core codebases. It's worth noting all the stuff we've got out of out are things we'd not normally have the time to work on - so a net positive there.<p>Outside of work I've built some bespoke software almost entirely generated with human tweaks here and there - again, super useful software for me and some friends to use for planning and managing music events we put on that I'd never normally have the time to build.<p>So in those ways I see it as massively increasing productivity - to build lower stakes things that would normally just never get done due to lack of time.</p>

<p>I really like the simplicity of this.<p>I have a couple projects I could see this being really useful in, at least as an option instead of pure plain text. I still feel like consumers don't like markdown though, it's frustrating.<p>One thing I noticed, when doing a list (bullet, numbered etc) it would be great if the list continued on barrage return (enter) - most general users would expect that I think.</p>

<p>There are lots and lots and lots of us that don't like using VSCode, want to use our own IDE of choice and use Claude Code. Terminal / standalone app is best for me there or even better an IDE plugin.<p>A tiny island is fine for a tool like this - not everything needs an 'ecosystem'.</p>
