| Kai's verdict | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. |
