How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Warp names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Devtool. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Warp also lists GitHub Copilot CLI, Continue.dev, VS Code with AI extensions as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
