| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. |
