GitHub is the standard
- GitHub: Largest community, best integrations, Copilot included.
- GitLab: Best CI/CD, self-hosted options, all-in-one.
- Bitbucket: Good if you use Atlassian. Otherwise, not compelling.
Just use GitHub unless you need GitLab CI/CD.

copilot is fine but cursor feels smarter

Raycast is the future
- Raycast: Modern, great extensions, actively developed. The new standard.

Resend for modern teams, Postmark for reliability
- Resend: Modern API, great DX, competitive pricing.
- SendGrid: Enterprise standard, reliable but complex.
