Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
