| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. |
