| Kai's verdict | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
