I used to use Replit before any AI features and I was a huge fan even then because it made it easy to skip environment setup. I haven’t tried it since they made it AI-first, so I can’t give you an informed opinion other than this;
If you want to be writing code, use something like Cursor or Windsurf. If you want to be more hands off, use something like Bolt or Loveable. Replit feels like it sits between them
Any thoughts on Replit ?
