Kai's verdictA-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter.A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.
