Linear has become the benchmark that other developer tools measure themselves against. The interface is fast. Not marketing-fast, but perceptibly instant. Every interaction feels like it was designed by someone who uses the product daily. The keyboard-first philosophy isn't a gimmick; it's woven into every workflow. Where most project management tools add features by adding screens, Linear adds features by making existing screens smarter.
