Method: The feature coverage rating gives full support one point and partial, plugin-based, or narrowly scoped support half a point across the feature rows above. UI polish is an editorial assessment of current visual language, consistency, and mainstream usability—not a laboratory measurement. Feature availability is based on publicly documented product information and may change over time.
