create-react-app is a command-line tool for creating React applications. It sets up a new React project with a sensible default configuration, similar to how @shopify/cli sets up Shopify apps and themes. However, it is focused solely on React applications and does not provide specific tools for Shopify development.
vue-cli is a command-line tool for scaffolding Vue.js projects. It provides a similar experience to @shopify/cli by setting up a new Vue.js project with a default configuration. Like create-react-app, it is focused on Vue.js applications and does not offer Shopify-specific functionalities.
gatsby-cli is a command-line tool for creating and managing Gatsby projects. It helps developers set up new Gatsby sites and provides commands for developing, building, and deploying Gatsby projects. While it offers a similar development experience, it is tailored for Gatsby and static site generation rather than Shopify apps and themes.
