Kai's verdictA-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.
