What’s Your Vibe Coding Stack in 2025?

by

AI dev tools are evolving crazy fast , every few weeks there’s a new “must-try” for vibe coders.


Some people are building full products with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and @Replit , others swear by @Cursor and @Claude by Anthropic , and a few are mixing @Lovable + @v0 by Vercel + @bolt.new to ship apps in record time.

I’ve been refining my own vibe stack lately, trying to find that sweet spot between speed, control, and creativity.
It made me wonder ,what does your setup look like right now?

Share your current “Vibe Stack”:

  • Your go-to AI tools

  • How you connect them together

  • What kind of projects you’re shipping

Let’s crowd-source the best combos for 2025 . Who knows, maybe we’ll spot the next trend before it blows up.

@ricoboost Nice stack .Simple, fast, and proven. Claude + VS Code fits great with it 👌

Ivan APEDO

To build stunning UIs/Landing pages I use Lovable/V0 then if needed to implement complex features I continue with Claude/Cursor.

@ivan_apedo Great combo .Fast UI first, then Claude/Cursor for the deeper logic. Smooth workflow 👌

Claude Code inside Cursor + Xcode for iOS development

Here's my current stack:

I might have forgotten a few... But there you go.

Right now mine’s a mix of Cursor for quick iterations, v0 for UI scaffolding, and CodeFlash (our own tool!) for generating clean, production-ready code that actually scales. Been using this combo to spin up internal tools and MVPs way faster than before.

We’re launching CodeFlash this Saturday, would love to hear what you think once it’s live!

  • @Codex by OpenAI for heavy / larger scale tasks

  • Copilot Agent (as plugin in PyCharm/WebStorm IDE) for smaller / tactical changes, incremental improvements.
    It has a selector for models, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, Grok

  • Also, @JetBrains Junie is pretty good and sometimes I would use it instead of Codex.

My vibe coding stack centers around Claude Code + latest Anthropic model (Sonnet 4.5 right now). Plus I have built several domain specific skills depending on my project requirements, like for documentation management, building for certain industries, coding in new frameworks, etc. I also selectively use some MCP servers when needed. Usually I am building my own custom tools to automate my workflows. I also use ChatGPT for researching and planning product and technical specs. GitHub workflows also help sometimes, like building and publishing websites using actions, or pulling PRs via Claude Code, though use that sparingly as right now I am in solo-developer mode.

Running Claude Code inside Cursor and as a VS Code extension. Created a script to manage claude.md across the 2 environments and have a shared repository for skills and workflows to scaffold and spin up projects

Front-end: mostly @Gemini , a bit of @Claude Code. In browser chats, prefer avoiding to give any access to the operating system.

Backend: with @VS Code , usually with Rust (even for browser extensions like https://semplico.app/sleach), mostly myself

@JDoodle.ai + @Claude Code are my favourites.
