Not apples to apples, isn’t Firebase studio tied to Firebace, and not general purpose development?
TBH, I didn’t look deeper since I made the above assumption based on the name.

No, it's just a rebranded version of Project IDX, their cloud-based VS Code fork. No need to use Firebase, that's just the branding.
