"For a fair, apples-to-apples comparison, I ran all five CLIs against the same React codebase, scaffolded with Vite. Tailwind CSS was already set up. I duplicated this boilerplate five times and used each copy as the starting point for one CLI. Each tool was asked to build the same Todo app using React and TypeScript. That way, every CLI was evaluated on the same playing field."
"This is the prompt I used to generate the test application: In this React project, modify the application to build a Todo app with the following requirements: Create a new component file named TodoList.tsx Implement full Todo functionality: add items, display the list, toggle completion, and delete items Use Tailwind CSS utility classes for styling Define TypeScript interfaces for the todo item structure and use them correctly in state management Update src/App.tsx to remove its existing content and rende"
Five AI CLIs were compared by implementing identical Todo apps in React and TypeScript using Vite and Tailwind. Each CLI modified a duplicated boilerplate so every tool worked from the same starting code. The Todo implementation required a new TodoList.tsx component, full add/display/toggle/delete functionality, Tailwind utility classes for styling, and TypeScript interfaces for state. Evaluation criteria included production readiness, code quality, logic clarity, speed, user experience, and reliability. The same prompt and codebase were used for each tool to ensure a fair comparison. Users should always review AI-generated code before production use.
