| Kai's verdict | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
