Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for ad-hoc analysis. Makes you feel like a data scientist in 30 seconds.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
