| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point. |
