Did Raycast just get sherlocked?

@Apple just announced the new macOS Tahoe 26, which included the "biggest Spotlight update ever." From the outside, it feels like they essentially built Raycast into Spotlight.

Raycast's CEO, @thomaspaulmann reacted in a long-form X post. This quote really struck me:

While Apple catches up to 2019 Raycast, we're already shipping 2025 Raycast.

Curious how the community feels about it?

Full disclosure: I'm definitely team Raycast
