Kai's verdictA-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.
