Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Celigo

Prices are not published on any of the three editions
Billed on endpoints and flows, so the cost is driven by how many systems you connect rather than by volume through them
API Builder, lookup caching and a sandbox all require the Professional edition
Single sign-on is optional on Standard and included from Professional up
Unlimited endpoints and the full governance features are Enterprise only

Visual Studio Code

Requires extension installation for language-specific features and tooling
Performance can degrade with very large codebases (100,000+ files)
Git integration is basic; requires extensions for advanced version control workflows
