Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
