Two tools. Two completely different philosophies. One question that runs through every design team in 2026: which one earns a place in a professional workflow?

NVIDIA’s stock dropped $600 billion in a single day. The AI industry spent a week recalibrating its assumptions about what frontier AI actually costs to build….
