In this training, we'll use Cursor. It combines your IDE + AI assistant.

It's more of a "pick your own poison" situation. You can choose:

• Lovable
• Replit
• VS Code
• Claude Code

My reason for NOT choosing non-IDE tools:

If you use Lovable and similar tools, you'll eventually hit two problems:

1. Your tool becomes too big and you spend too much money on each change
2. You want more control, so you switch to an actual IDE

Cursor gives you kinda the best of both worlds from the start (but is less friendly to complete beginners)

I personally use Cursor for several reasons:

I started with the free plan (it was enough for my needs). Now I am on Pro plan and paying myself.

Need to add that for small changes and projects, I still use Lovable for small changes.
