Kai's verdictS-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.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.
