This is like the third post today on code generator using a react application, in twitter there are dozens of them.

Copilot already exists and copilot X already packs the features this package promises AND much more, why use this application over Copilot?.

e2b isn't like copilot. You don't really write code in our "IDE". Currently, it works in a way that you write a technical spec and then collaborate with an AI agent that builds the software for you. It's more like having a virtual developer available for you.
One reason might be that some people value open source.
