Editorial verdict

The decision on Ray.

Ray is an excellent choice for developers and content creators who need to produce high-quality, visually appealing code snippets quickly. Its intuitive interface and seamless VS Code integration make it a standout tool for enhancing technical documentation and social media presence. The main tradeoff is its limited functionality for complex editing and the requirement for an internet connection in the web version.

If your primary goal is aesthetic output rather than deep code manipulation, Ray is a highly recommended addition to your workflow.
