How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Firebase Studio names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Devtool. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Firebase Studio also lists GitHub Codespaces, Visual Studio Code with Copilot as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
