Claude, Supermaven and Cursor users are much more likely to say they had a positive experience than users of other AI-based developer tools. Users of Google Gemini, JetBrains AI and Meta’s Llama are much less likely to report having a positive experience with those technologies.

“Holy shit it’s actually done — we just tagged Tailwind CSS v4.0,” Tailwind CSS creator Adam Wathan wrote Tuesday. It’s an understandable reaction, when you consider that this release is a ground-up rewrite of the framework. The Tailwind team took “everything we’ve learned about the architecture over the years and optimizing it to be as fast as possible,” Wathan wrote.

Rolldown, a JavaScript bundler written in Rust created by void(0) — the company also responsible for Vite — is now available in beta. The new bundler provides Rollup-compatible APIs and plugin interface but is more similar to esbuild in scope, the Rolldown team said in introducing the bundler. The goal is to replace esbuild and Rollup, which are currently used in Vite as dependencies, with one unified build tool for Vite.
