What is the best Vibe Coding tool so far? Bonus points if we've never heard of it!
by•
I might be missing some but I've been pretty much in love with @Lovable, @Cursor, @bolt.new and have been trying to use @Replit more and I honestly haven't touched @BASE44 too much but have heard good things. @chrismessina has nudged me to use @Windsurf for whenever I build another Raycast Extension!
Currently I use:
- @bolt.new / @Lovable
- @Cursor
- @Warp
Curious what everyone thinks is the top one so far!

Cursor helped deploy multiple websites in very less time. v0 dev is also good for independent tasks or for preparing a boiler plate code. Quick tip: v0's design sense is better than cursor for making MVP type product.
I voted cursor. But I do like Bolt and Replit as well...
All listed above are good software/agents, but the real deal is:
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHICH ONE WILL BE APPROPRIATE TO YOUR CURRENT PROJECT/FRAMEWORK.
As we see in LLM, each one will outperform another at a certain task/project/programming language. So you need to test and find out the most suitable for your use. My personal recommendation based on my own tests:
Bolt - Good for app prototype, too complicated for production/MVP, hard deploy process.
Replit - Not so good, but easy to MVP web apps.
Windsurf - tried once and then forgot about it. Not a big deal.
Cursor (I lobe, I like it) - Great for building landing pages, browser extensions.
Lovable - Good for some simple projects, easy to deploy.
Base44 -- never tried yet, but I do hear some people say that it is the best of them. DYOR.
Firebase - Easy to use, fast to deploy, good results with basically any app. It could be the best of them if it receives more attention from the project team.
Did I leave any good ones behind? Comment below👇
