I don't understand the appeal of Replit. Claude and other agents do what they do for much cheaper and efficiently. Is it for newcomers who don't know anything about software development, nd Replit fills the gap with basic user instructions and structure? Why is it even a thing while real agents are there?
Replit's original value proposition was on-demand sandboxed environments.
With Claude, it's like you're handing YOUR laptop's terminal to an intern. With Replit, you can mess things up without consequences, which is a great help for newbies.
WSL + local Git? Don't people use it to sandbox their applications and create necessary branches without losing their minds?
