Pros: Great for coders and developers.
Cons: Requires local CLI setup.
Pros: Permissive MIT license with no royalties or mandatory branding. Portable single-file editor under 200 MB, no formal installation required. Official scripting plus C# support and native C++ extension API. Exports to desktop, mobile, and HTML5/WebAssembly targets.
