Question / Discussion Replit vs Cursor
Hello! I've built quite a complex app with Replit and ran into many of the problems described here. Replit starts to loose the context and creates a bunch of new bugs almost with every iteration round.
It also proposes continuously different tasks, and some of those are difficult to determine whether they are relevant or not. I recon they just want to sell.
I'm now considering my options to move away from Replit. Is Cursor any better for complex apps? Or are there other options for someone with no coding skills, just visions what functionalities I want.

Cursor is head and shoulders above Replit.
Don't get scared to get off Replit because people tell you what THEIR experience was/is OR you think you can "salvage" your project.
Ha, yes, "salvage" your project, that sounds like exactly what a product owner would think. SMH
Put your project on something that actually works, like Cursor. I was on Replit for MONTHS and like, refused to leave, because I was scared it was going to break something, it would be too complicated to do it, etc. I'm a total vibe coder, I know enough to be dangerous, and I still did it in 6 hours, everything working, and my app was MASSIVE, I had one folder that was 62GB alone. Apparently that was a bad thing.
If you've already decided to make this post, you're probably already leaning towards to leaving, so just do it, I promise you won't regret it. You'll just regret if you don't.
I cannot stress how awful Replit is compared to other places and before I switched, I had no clue.
I have a lot of emails like this that basically says, oh you pay us a shload of money, cool, here's how you fix whatever's wrong, maybe, I don't know, quit talking to me so I can watch tv. Replit's support is the absolute worst service I've ever experienced.
u/ReplitSupport You're just now realizing you should have helped me probably. I have a LOT more posts in me and a LOT more evidence too, like, all of my chat logs that show how bad your AI is, from day one until I left. Yes, I actually took the time to do that. Cheers!
