“### 4. Cursor — best when source-code control matters most”
“Full source-code access.”
“AI-assisted edits across multiple files.”
“Inline suggestions and code completion.”
“Git integration and diff review.”
“Its drawback is that it's a desktop IDE rather than an entirely browser-based environment.”
“### 1. Replit — best all-around browser editing”
“You can open individual files and change the actual source.”
“The integrated terminal lets you run commands and tests.”
“The AI Agent can continue working on the same project.”
“Checkpoints make it easier to recover from unwanted changes.”
“### 3. Lovable — best for visual corrections”
“Visual Edits are convenient for changing text, spacing, colors, and layouts.”
“Agent Mode can make more substantial code changes.”
“GitHub integration provides a route to edit the actual project outside Lovable.”
“Less attractive if you expect to spend lots of time manually editing source code inside the platform.”
“### 2. Bolt.new — best browser-based code-first workflow”
“Exposes the project file tree and source code.”
“Supports direct edits alongside AI-generated changes.”
“Offers a live preview.”
“File locking and targeting help prevent unwanted changes to selected files.”
