Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.S-tier for teachers. If you teach K-12, start here this week.S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
