Where ZeNorm differs, and where it loses.
Several tools now sit between you and your coding agent. They are not interchangeable, and the differences are mechanical rather than rhetorical. Each page below compares one of them to ZeNorm at the level of what the software actually enforces — and names the cases where the other tool is the better purchase.
