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!

Claude Code has quietly become my daily driver — built CommandX with it and barely touched a Lovable-style UI. The difference is control: you stay in the loop on every file change instead of hoping the agent lands somewhere sane. The tradeoff is you still need to think. For me that's the point, not the problem.
@avinashbussa in the loop on file changes, yes. what it doesn't show you is when an MCP server it calls changed its tools since last week.. that happens between sessions, so there's no diff to review. 49 of 107 updates i measured did exactly that.
I'm on the Lumi.new team, so this is a product recommendation from someone involved with it. If you're looking beyond the tools already mentioned, Lumi is aimed at websites and web apps that need a working backend. You describe what you want in chat, and Lumi generates the code. The same project can include a database, user sign-in, file storage, backend functions, and hosting. You can publish to a lumi.ing subdomain, and the free plan includes monthly chat credits. It may be worth trying if your idea needs more than a landing page: https://lumi.new/
