| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. |
