Why Bolt.new Is Not the "Cursor and v0 Killer" It's Claimed to Be

For me Cursor and v0 can and will coexist. Cursor is helpful working at smaller pieces of code in a flow you are orchestrating actively, v0 and bolt are MVP/PoC makers that can't really help much if the project grows. I do think something similar to the mythical AI SWE will happen this decade and that may eat the market, but I don't think it will emerge from these tools.

I have been working on generative AI for coding for some time (building producta.ai now), and based on user research and beta testing, people prefer tools that are good at working on existing repositories and at handling complete features, even if later they need to review / update parts of the solutions. If one specific tool ends up eating the rest, it's probably going to start like something on these lines

Agree. v0 and Bolt are currently only good for prototyping. It lacks the granular control of a proper coding editor like Cursor. But they work well together as the feedback loop and barrier to start iterating on a rough idea is extremely low in v0 and Bolt compared to VSCode + GH Copilot or Cursor.
