Kai's verdictS-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.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.
