Kai's verdictA-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code.A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
